Growing Tree
Hi Guys,
Bit of a wierd one perhaps.
I am after some footage/animation, or even some suggestions about how to go about filming it myself – of a Tree growing from a seedling to being fairly big/mature. My client – who is a Care/Senior Citizens Home – has a maple leaf as their logo, and I had the idea of using the tree maturing as a metaphor for people getting old- cheesy I know…but they love it!!!
Can anyone help? Cheers
Xavier

Xavier,
A couple of thoughts:
There was a tutorial on the Cow a while back for growing a tree in After Effects, but I can’t seem to find it. I’m pretty sure it was from Mark Simpson.
A quick Google search revealed at least one 3D app that seems to be able to do this.
I have done a couple of “growing” animations using masks in AE, one of an Agave plant and one of a client’s logo which is a very stylized “tree,” with 4 leaves. The original files are from Illustrator, and I separated the elements into layers as isolating them made it easier to mask. Plus it allows more control on how the thing grows.
You can see the Agave sample on my Web site, it’s at the end of the Desert Botanical Gardens spot. http://www.fisheyeedit.com under “spots.”
Have a wonderful day.
