The first scene, started off by importing a 3D bird. The Bird function as the focus, where I want the bird to fly around the building.
Next, I drew a straight line and ends at the building.
Then, selecting the bird, go to animation under constraints, select path constraints and then click the line desired. Hence, the bird moves along the line.
Next, the camera. By duplicating another line and moves just next to the bird path, select the camera and then select path constraints and click the line which is duplicated. As for the camera target, select it, and then click attachment constraints instead of path and then click onto the bird. Therefore, the camera is now focusing on the bird as it moves along the line.
I place several ducks to give more life to the site. So, setting the autokey, at frame 100, 180, and 250, I move and rotate the ducks so that they do not stay stagnant in a place.
Scene 2 is basically a bird fly around the building. Hence I created line, and then edit it using the vertex to move up and down and adjust it so that when the bird attach to it, it will fly around the building. Using the autokey to rotate the bird so that it moves realistically.
For scene 3, the shadow movement, I set the autokey, and moves the daylight I've place on the site.
Scene 4 is where I want the ring the roll down from the bed and then dropped onto the ground. So, I imported the ring, place it on the bed, draw line and edit it to create the scene I wanted.
The same method, using path constraint. RING > ANIMATION > CONSTRAINTS > PATH CONSTRAINTS.
The last scene, is basically camera movement along the line created. The maroon line is the line for the last scene.
For the render set up, always click the range and key in the number. When I got 800 frame, I key in 1 and the next box I key in 800. The output size is 640 by 480.
Next, the render output file. Create a file specifically for the video render, and on the settings, change it to avi.
I couldn't render it in high quality due to the time constraint. It is really disappointing. I mean I'm disappointed with myself.
For the video editing, I use window movie maker.
