KCC test videos

There is a scene in which the lead character is reminiscing about tea. Here are some of my tests for that video in which tea or tea leaves are drifting through water or space. To use our class language, this is elemental motion using particle systems made surrealist by slowing everything down. The video is supposed to be a bit dreamy. I found that it's useful to have some basic 3D skills for doing theater work. Directors seem to like elemental effects and visual effects type imagery. This is done in Cinema 4D which is pretty easy to use. One problem is that this version doesn't handle particle collisions well. Notice that in some videos the leaves slice into each other. Maybe I'll just do this old school--put some leaves in water.
