With my showreel opener I wanted to practice an interesting effect animation. After a lot of trial and error, I'm satisfied with the movement of the bubble, which is based off of a tar bubble pop. Below you can see my process work, which involves working out the bubble growth and pop and figuring out how I want the drips to look. Also included are some experiments with the form of the bubble, which never made it into the final animation.
