Creative thinking... Divergent and Convergent... I'm approaching this PhD project as any other industry based project... Defined work hours during the working week - usually between 8:30 - 6:00pm and weekends for brain relaxation time.

Interesting to 'stand' at the top of the escalator whilst animating. There is an intuitive sense of timing with each key frame, as it is instinctively obvious if the speed is too fast to walk on. Animated a pivot, and then animated the tread to follow the line of the pivot, to replicate the treads being attached to a large cog. Will aim to duplicate the group that the tread is in and hopefully create multiple steps....
