droplet forming and falling

This is the second shot of my section for which i am creating a water droplet in vue, because i can animate the surface easily with a moving water texture to make it a bit more dynamic that just working with a still image. I then went to after effects and began to layer up footage of moving smoke and ink above a texture and play around with blending modes and effects until i had created what i thought was adequate for this section. After animating the change of teh the petal into the droplet I went to Sal and stated that to do another transition inbetween into a heart, as previously planned, may be too drawn out in terms of movement and pace of the this part of the film, therefore we agreed to leave it as just one transition -the petal turning into the droplet.
