See screencaps below to grasp the complexity of organization, there were a lot of graphics to manage and a lot of complex vectors that needed to translate to the final product. This animation needed to be mastered under a tight deadline and then later printed on individual bills at roughly 25 frames per second to mesh with the speed of the currency counter and a Canon 7D, recording at 60 frames per second.
