Eleni couldn't tweak her picking up mirror scene in time but I think I was able to make it look better with some zoom, blur and repositioning in After Effects.
Damo was able to pull off an all-nighter and keyframe his last scene so that it looked almost finished. Eleni gave me the roughs for her last scene too and I noticed that she was trying to animate a lot more than she actually needed to (animating the whole reference video instead of a section that would fit the animatic timing) and I let her know after I updated the final animation in progress.
With everyone's parts together, this was what we submitted to D&AD:
What I've learnt:
- How to add a timecode in After Effects
- How to generally improve the look of an animation in After Effects
What went well:
- Adding strings to the soundtrack
- Addition of crowds and car
- Proportions on Damo's scenes
- Face warp behind the lights
What could be improved:
- Some of the backgrounds could still be tweaked (if there is time)
- Shoulder movement and hand animation when the main character picks up the mirror
- More crowds in some of the scenes (if there is time)
- The proportions on some of Eleni's scenes are a bit off
I'm hopeful that once this streak of deadlines from other modules is over, everyone will have time to finish off their parts before the final submission.
