Favourite Childhood Memory of Michelle Zhen
"Having fun in the Wellington Botanic Gardens when she was younger"

Michelle had given me a small brief where she explained some of the sensations she remembers from the time.
-Lots of flowers! Mainly roses
-She thinks she heard a few birds
-The large amount of flowers spreading a blissful scent
-She enjoyed it a lot because of how much she liked flowers

From these sensations, I tried to create a basic animation of a small Michelle enjoying her time at the gardens. After searching images, I replicated a simplified setting and represented the warm and soothing scent through the bright coloured roses. I made Michelle move rapidly to emphasize how she was greatly enjoying exploring the area full of flowers. At the end, I wanted to have a bit of fun and made her roll around to also emphasize her enjoyment and energy as a younger child. I added subtle animation to simplified birds to show that they are indeed alive and would have produced sound to the scene.

...This was actually pretty fun to do x'D
