After looking at this website i found it to be interesting as it connected with crisis lyrics. From there i decided to create my clock that speed through time using expression.

Shot break down (Rough vs)

Here is a video of my shot break down of the seamless scene that I have created to be inserted within the crisis music video. I apologise for the speed of the break down, but will hopefully change this video for a better version.

Adding Textures

Advancing from the tests I decided that the link was achievable and I started to add texture to the floor and the surroundings scene object.

Link 2D with 3D

This test was to show the perspective of the Boujou camera towards the castle house camera. To show this i textured the ground floor in a check board texture to show if the distance is correct between the castle house and the reporters. Also it was to see if the linking will flow by blending the two scene cameras together.
