Establishing shot V.1

Handed in render Version one from Sean Rowlands on Vimeo.

A collaborative piece done with Sean Rowlands, a friend studying motion design. We hope to add more in the following week to help make it more interesting. Currently we want to include a zoom out from the tower in the background, to bring the viewer in to the shot and various small changes to the background. A subtle twisting movement in the background, spaceships?, low opacity clouds, rain that seems more effected by the wind and shadows on the characters are a few of the changes on our list. Any feedback would be great!
