As my idea was about the keyword "dangerous", so to incorporate the juxtaposition, I made a video about a dangerous snake attacking an innocent bird. As the bird came about it was used in a way that first formed from a perfect whole sphere, whereas the other parts creating the snakes would be created by viral looking spheres as though it ought not to be touched. So, to further elaborate the bird and its juxtaposition before it is attacked, I wanted it to look nice with a fluid type texture and as it is attacked it would change textures to that spikey viral texture, but was not able to change it, so instead I put the viral dangerous textures on all elements and the form of the perfect sphere that showed the bird after was enough for the juxtaposition, as well as the bird place right next to the snake.
The uvw mapping came in quite useful as you could control the image of the texture and how it would turn out on the element, using different types of textures.
