In the first link we have literally 2 seconds of trees blowing in the wake of a storm as an animation. The second link is an hour long video of trees swaying in the wind.

Response:
An animation loop of trees blowing in the wind.

Reflection:
Originally I wanted to do a tree that changed into each season with colours but the motion of trees swaying in the wind intrigued me more which is what led me to try and animate such motions. I found it to be quite tricky in the sense to keep the motions having an organic feel to it because the timings of leaves and branches are kind of a cascade instead of it all moving at once. Trying to time it properly was very fun but it still needs work along with the background being static.

I'd like to add more moving/looping clouds and more detailed lighting work.
