I have an idea for an animation, but I seriously do not have the skills to do this much modeling.
I am wanting to have the animation start out looking at a torn-to-hell American flag on top of the Capitol Building (as a side note, I do not intend to disrespect the flag) I would like for the flag to be able to slightly shift in the wind, like a real one does on a not-very-windy day.
The flag, in all the photo’s I see, is on the top of the main stairway, in front of the dome.
As the national anthem (I already recorded the audio) plays, the camera slowly zooms out of the flag to reveal a bombed, wartorn Washington DC. I would like DC to look close to the real Washington DC (major things in the same place, such as Capitol building, 1st infantry memorial, roads & fountains.
The camera should only zoom out so that the Capitol building is taking up about 1/4 of the screen. I don’t want to take away from that being the center of the animation.
I really only need models. I can do animation myself. If you want to also include smoke simulations (small ones) that would be cool.
I would like to add that I prefer the flag and capitol building to be the center of attention.
Here are some reference photos:
