Here I have included a screen shot of me working on adding some lighting to my animation and the results of it.
In these two tests i liked and disliked different features. In the lighting test I liked the lighting on the background as I think it adds a dimension to the page and isn't so flat an bland so I think i will use that in my final piece. I don't like the red lights on the the dots though as I don't think it adds anything good.
In the shadow test I like the use of drop shadow as it adds a subtle depth to the shapes and brings them out of the page so i will use that in my final animation.
