Week 7: Basic After Effects Comp

After having render out the two sets of animation and the key light back plate I went into After Effects and started to replicate the test comp I did in Photoshop.

I used the fill animation to mask out the footage resulting in the shape of the girl filled with the footage.

I then added an Camera Lens Blur to make the background out of focus...

… this followed by adding the cotton rag texture at a low opacity…

…and finally topped with the outline animation with another cotton rag texture.

This is the first comp rendered out and as you can see it has a few bugs. The layers I have created in the fill animation are over exposing the footage so will need altering and toning down.

The next stage after that will be to work on lighting and shadows for the girl.
