I hope I'm not making people sick of these animation tests :)

I'm not posting this one on youtube as I dont want it to be wide spread, its not ready for mass consumption.

I used one of the default scenes to get the initial idea W.I.P going.

I want to include this as an intro or outtro for a larger video, and its a tribute to a brilliant musician who sadly took his own life at an early age. The music that you hear is a cover of one of his original tunes done by a friend of mine. You wont find any of this musicians tunes on iTunes or CD Store, he was exclusive to the 8-Bit Music scene.

Now there are elements that I would like to add to this scene, I know Carrara is quite capable of producing, I just need a nudge in the right direction.

Water Falls
Birds Flying
Rolling Clouds
Trees swaying in the wind?

I want to give it a dreamy kind of feel, like a fresh springs day, the shape that you see at the end was the Logo that he used has his signature. So its there as a kind of surprise, because as you watch the video you dont know what or who its about till you see the last few seconds as a big surprise.

Any suggestions / comments are appreciated and welcome.

PS its a 256MB Download and it took 10 Hours to render with my small render farm.
