This is the first shot from the second sequence of the film. It is the introduction of the factory and this shot serves as a way of getting the feather into the factory. It will be a closeup of the window and will zoom into an open section. The first thing to do was to draw the window background and tone this in photoshop.
I have drawn this image in layers so the open window sits on top of the rest of the image so it can be pushed into 3D layers in after effects. Shown below are screenshots of me using the layers in after effects and showing the camera and the path I used for it.
