Following the tutorial from Dom to make an object collide with another and cause the struck object to break and shatter into pieces allowed me to simulate this animation which could potentially have usage in my collaborative unit piece – as showing an object shattering into pieces is a great way to symbolise something in someone’s life being destroyed – such as a town is destroyed for example, showing a building shatter into pieces is a good way to show this without showing the actual events that caused the town to be destroyed.

For this week, we also animated the “Useless Box”, a device which detects when a human has moved a switch and moves it back to where it began. I animated a head inside the box which stretches its neck and pushes the lever back to it’s original position with its head. The animation loops, with the box closing and returning to it’s original position, which with the lever also being pushed back to the place it started in means that the last frame is the same as the first.
