My first idea for the Animation idea i found was much to complex and if i had attempted to create it, lets just say i might have still being working on it now... My final idea came simply from looking around the net seeing what people had created using 3Ds Max, and I came across this video.
I found that 3Ds Max had a very nice 'Hair and Fur' generator built into it, so I though to myself, 'that looks nice and i could create something simple yet beautiful using this.'
Seeing the short youtube animation and the power of what the plug-in could generate, I was reminded of a Pixar making of video that I saw on the creating of Monsters inc. The monster Sully was created with millions of individual hairs and took a heavy amount of time to render his movements. Taking this into account and knowing that i am new to animation I though that a simply 'Hair ball' would be a starting point for getting to grips with the software and its workings.I wanted to give the hair ball some what of a personality and a noticeable character.
Giving a hair ball a personality I feel I did pretty well. I had the hair ball always moving, trying to give the senses of excitement and curiosity. Knowing that sound is a very important element when trying to give and animation life I tried to get sound clips that get a senses of mystery and interest.
Overall I really enjoyed the Animation module and I am very interested on what our next project will Intel.
The final Video
After rendering the video out I found that the Edge of the 'Plain' was showing through the hairs on my 'Hair ball.' After talking to Andy he says adding a 'Wall,' will help to solve this problem. I will be uploading a cleaner version as soon as.

Here is the cleaned up video, I am very happy with the out come and feel that for having no previous experience in animation, I have created something i am proud of.
