D&AD Background Tests

Here are some early concepts for the designs and animation for the backgrounds for D&AD brief. We are still going to be using cardboard to construction the buildings. The main purpose for these test was to figure out a way to animate the motion for the building digitally before I went on to animate then in stop motion.

We have found these to be very helpful to figure out pacing and after talking more about it we decided that we like the second style of animation coming into frame. We particularly like the second style of animation (even though the actually animation on the example is badly timed) of the BG as it felt more dynamic and we thought we could use that to our advantage to add a sense of tension.
