Animating Bees - Arrow and Bow

The next step to animating the bees was where you see the anger in the bees. We showed this by transforming them into a bow and arrow which fires at the bear who luckily ducks!

Again, like with the logo i had to animate the bees transforming. Going from this big round shape to forming into a thin narrow shape.

I had to look at a few images of bow and arrows first to get an understanding of how it functions. This helped me with the anticipation when the arrow gets pulled back and holds for a few seconds to gain that power and speed. It also gave a smooth fluid look.

 

Here is a clip of the bees changing into the bow and arrow (done on flipbook)
