Since I now had all my settings edited and changed to my satisfaction, it was time to rethink about the transitions. I was quite excited about this bit, seen as how it is the bit that brings my whole animation together, as well as the sound. Luckily enough I was already happy with the sound that I had previously picked before my adjustments, so it was more a matter of doing the transitions.
I started with the transition that I had thought of previously. This was to just have the settings drop one by one to reveal the next scene and although I liked this, I felt like it still moved a bit too slow for my animation and was not really that 'slick' looking. In fact, I felt like it only made my ident look boring. Therefore I started to look at other options.
I thought about dropping each of my individual layers to the bottom of the screen one by one but at different times, and I quite liked this idea but was concerned about the delivery of it. I liked how it came out, just not the sky layer/component, so I came up with another idea to have that layer transition in a different way to the others. As shown above, I decided to have it in this test, to spiral out to reveal the next scene, and though I liked this I thought I would do some more tests but just having an effective transition on the sky layer, and the others, all dropping off the screen.
And then I came across this transition. I'm not really too sure how you would describe this delivery, but to me if it as if the layer splits in half and then reveals the night setting, though in a more stylistic manner. I really liked this transition, a lot more than the spiral one, so I decided to try it out with the other two setting and liked that just as much! I did have to change the sun layer to slide upwards off the screen as opposed to falling down, because to me it didn't seem right to do it the other way.
