I modeled an airplane in Cinema 4D to use with Element 3D within After Effects. I had to rig the propeller to spin with a null and added bullets shooting with Particular from the turrets on the wings.  My animation is progressing nicely, but it’s going to take me longer than this summer class allows for.  I will post my final rough draft and update in my final post for the class.  Here’s a look at what the modeled plane looks like:

I will be using the song, Rising Dream from Audio Jungle for my finished motion graphic.  It has the feeling of telling a building story that is better as it’s being told.  I felt it had a “heartland” feel as well as being a driving song that would inspire the message.
