The first snake draft scene

Well after a lot of working in the dark ive finally managed to create a nice movie to show of the snake. The snake has been fully textured using UV mapping and it has also been animated using sine deformers. The fire was also created by myself and then composited into after effects. I even constructed the surreal looking embers to give it a spiritual feeling. The fire was also multiplied and then manipulated so that it would be a lot more prominent and have different shades of colour so to make it more fluent. I am actually really happy with this current outcome. Any queries or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

I am planning to give it glowing eyes as i personally think that its eyes dont look prominent enough but hopefully it should work using some motion tracking. Athough recently i have had trouble motion tracking it because its got some motion blur which means the pixels go quite crazy when the  snake moves violently which means the trackers cant figure out whats going on. So i may have re-render the composition without motion blur, motion track it, apply the eyes. And then re-use the motion blur snake under the motion track. Thats my theory at least so i’ll give it a shot. Hope you enjoy.
