Tree of Life

I have chosen to make an informative animation on Evolution. I am looking specifically into the theory of 'divergent evolution' as I find it interesting and I think it would be interesting to experiment with visually. Darwin's idea of 'the tree of life'
 

"As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these, if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the great Tree of Life, which fills its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications."

Charles Darwin

 

 

 



Experimenting with some very simple hand drawn animation. I put the individual frames together on Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. It took far longer than it should have I must have done it the longest, most complicated way possible!
