Final Project "Bottom Waters"

I want to portray a three layer world where "bottom waters" are trapped on the bottom and have enslaved each other for gem mining. They trade the gems for crystals. Bottom waters burn crystals to regenerate the water inside them. The gems are traded with the collector, who uses the gems to give his armor power. The collector lives in the second part of this world, below the top lights who live on the top. The collector goes to the top and steals the top waters to make  the heat crystals.

I want to animate this by using a few different techniques. Mixing Hand-drawn images, and rotoscoped images. I will parent them in spaces using after effects. Most will be done in after affects. I will rotoscope scenes involving the collector, adding gems to his armor, and making the heat crystals. For the making of the heat crystals I entend to shot or find the footage of glass blowing.
