Digital Landscape - Testing and production

Will be using Adobe after effects to create some animation. Using the rotobrush tool to cut out footage that will serve purpose to our animation

the video below is a good example, showing the seeds growth sped up over time. I'l be using the rotobrush to cut out the seed in action!





With the music we want ambient sounds and music that represents growth and magic!

The link below details a science experiment
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(season_2)#Episode_23_.E2.%38%30.93_.22Exploding_House.22
"Seven small greenhouses were set up on the M5 Industries roof. Four were set up with stereos playing endlessly looping recordings (as having the MythBusters actually talk to the plants could contaminate the samples with their expelled carbon dioxide): Two of negative speech, two of positive speech (Kari and Scottie each made one positive and one negative inducing soundtrack), a fifth with classical music and a sixth with intense death metal music. A seventh greenhouse, used as a control sample, had no stereo. The greenhouses with the recordings of speech grew better than the control, regardless of whether such talk was kind or angry. The plants in the greenhouse with the recording of classical music grew better, while the plants in the greenhouse with the recording of intense death metal grew best of all despite somewhat dying, because the battery died on one of the timers that was watering the plants."


This is interesting and I wonder if we can incorporate a plants favourite music into the animation, whilst keeping with the ambient theme.
