After rendering the two seperate scenes I then converted these into a movie using Adobe Premiere.
The two scenes were joined and also a beginning and ending text was added to the clip. In order for the animation to have a better flow. I added effects like fade to black and fade to white.
The adobe premiere clip was then rendered and the final animation was complete.
Making the Roller Coaster
The roller coaster was made by firstly creating a basic path for the roller coaster to follow using the shape tools. To join these different parts together, the shapes were made into editable spline, moved the paths in line with each other, attach the splines and then weld the points together.
The loft tool was used to create the the tracks of the roller coaster. A basic shape was drawn to show a cross sectional view of the tracks then this was lofted along the path already drawn.
Using the cyclinder and box tool the supports of the roller coaster were attached.
This roller coaster was placed on a basic scene and then the carriages were made by simply using the box and chamfer box tool.
A path constraint was made with the carriages and the path.
This created the animation of the roller coaster
Animating a Moving Camera
To animate the camera moving around the room and zooming into the magazine page it was just a case of turning the auto key on and moving the camera and target to where it needed to be.
The Timing of the camera was again adjusted my opening the dope sheet and moving the key frames.

Animating the Pages Turning in a Magazine
Firstly two boxes were created, these where made to represent the main body of the book that would be left untouched. After this two more thin boxes were created to represent the cover of the brochure. A skew modifier was placed on the two original boxes to allow them to meet in the middle and also create the look of a book.
For the pages the quad patch tool was used and this was drawn on the right box representing the main bulk of the book. A dummy helper was then placed in the middle of the book and then linked to the 1st quad patch, which allowed the page to rotate in reference to the middle of the book.
The same steps were then taken to create the second page in the book.
Once the brochure (book) was created this was placed on top of the table and then the animation of the pages turning was created.
The bend modifier was applied to the first page after turning the auto key frame button on. The page was then rotated and bent to create the look of a page turning. This was then replicated for the 2nd page in the brochure. To adjust the timing of the turning of the pages the key frames were moved on the dope sheet.
Material of magazine pages were then added to each page apart from the last one.
