Major: Editing the Scene in Adobe After Effects

 The process behind editing my finished renders all together in Adobe After Effects.

To start editing my frames together in Adobe After Effects I had the scene exported as a sequence of PNG images, numbered 1-600. I then imported the sequence into After Effects, and added some text, a couple fade to blacks to make the full animation feel more complete. 

Afterwards I tested the render, to see how fast things transitioned, etc and found parts of the animation played a little too fast despite the initial time taken to correct camera movements so, I went through the scene in After Effects to cut and time stretched various scenes until I was satisfied with the result. 

Afterwards I froze the last frame to make the final fade to black seem less abrupt. Then searched a website called TuneTank, a copyright free music site that allows for free downloads, picked a song and edited it to fade in and out with the animation.

Finally here are a couple test renders I did at parts of the edit just to check various aspects of the project were being made as planned.

Lighting and Rendering: Light Filters

 I tried to follow along with this tutorial but, didn't have the option to use light filters for some reason. I couldn't find them in any other menu either. So, I watched the tutorial to the end regardless.

 We were given an item and told to research the item, looking into many ways it can look at its most authentic state, then draw it again with some character and personality. Old worn out clown shoes all busted and falling apart.
