Compositing

Well, this week i have been cracking on with rendering shots and so on and can safely say we have done 24 or around that which isnt to bad, just behind schedule. But its hard when some shots need alot of attention to them like th one below this image shows a screen shot from withing after effects and shows the amount of layers i am dealing with now the name conventions were good at the beginning but have slipped over time. And when u get silly mistakes its difficult to know what layer is doing what. The second image is from the shot and before this it was looking pretty bad and the original image is the bottom image, now tweaking had to be done as all the focus on the light setup was on ed, when it should be on the plug and the machine as this is the shot when it all gets rebooted. Whilst looking at a tutorial i realised that you could create lights within after effects, so after some playing around we used a spotlight and a abmient light, which worked great. You cant see in these images but sparks were added to the plug which were inspired by burning safari when the ape gets electricuted, so yeah overall a pretty good day.
