Hi,
I'm working on a project to organise 4 evenings for 12-year olds with a lot of singing, guests and video. My job is to bind everything together using an animation of a flame going from one place to another in a labyrinth. (a bit like the one from the cathedral of chartres).
We were thinking of doing it in 3D, with a simple model of a labyrinth (floor and walls). and a simple flame sprite, and various icons across the labyrinth.
What I am looking for is a program or several programs that can be used to shoot footage using a virtual camera, to follow the flame or watch the labyrinth from above. We would also have to be able to make these virtual models.
I know it's a tough question, but these programs should be as easy to use as possible, and offer "decent" quality. It doesn't have to be photorealistic, but it would be nice if it was better than the maze screensaver from windows 95.
Thanks in advance!
