Help animating tree (growing and swaying in wind) - Ideas Please!

[robsarna]

Hi guys,

Basically, I'm trying to make a cool CV to get myself a job.... i have designed a design that I am going to use for printing, but want to make a cool flash version too.

I think the most obvious way to do this is to use masks, but I'm finding it difficult to get a smooth mask going (and growing in several directions) without it distorting horribly. I appreciate i may have to alter the design for flash, but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts/ideas/tutorials on how i can get around a natural growing look and possibly a "light wind" effect (which should be easy i think by making the branches move slightly)

I've attached a copy of the design!

Thanks in advance

Rob
