Montipora Capricornus - Underwater Animation Clip 2

The second subject in my series of very short looping animations for a developer group was the tropical coral called Montipora Capricornus. I had to use my imagination and guess how such a scaly, vase shape colony might grow as detailed information was in short supply. The approach on these was as much playful as realistic so some artistic license was welcomed by the client. The addition of the juvenile stage of an Emperor Angelfish moving through added some much need extra action and color interest. Fantastic patterns on those little guys. The video clip was scaled way down and converted to a small gif file in order to be able to paste it into the blog page.
