First shot of 3rd Section - particle generators and time lapse clouds

Here are some renders of my first shot which I have made purely in after effects using particle generators and animating each petal falling individually.
We asked our tutors whether we could make the film more of a moving image piece with elements of animation and they agreed that this weas ok. And so we began to source various bits of footage of skies, time lapse clouds and sunsets to composite into the film, which you can see in the background in my first shot.
I wanted to make this shot, and most of my section rather dramatic, as it is the final section of the film and so provides the climax after the crecendo.
