This animation turned out pretty short and there's a few errors here and there (that are not too noticeable).

I will use 2 cameras to get 2 different angles, both will be animated and of course the butterfly's wings will flap too. I added some purple and light blue lights (spot lights) to give the scene some extra color. This ...
