Compositing Excitement

Alright... well I tried to update more often, and that lasted all of like, 3 days. Work is picking up and I am busy, busy, busy.

In my free time, I've been working on a project of a friend I worked with at The Bonnie Hunt Show. He made a movie and needed some After Effects work done - so he came to the master - er, me.

I'm doing some compositing, color filling, maybe color correction (a tad), and working on the credits. So far so good - but compositing is way harder than I imagined. I suppose I knew that it wasn't an easy task - but the sheer tedium of it is incredible. So many tiny points to move, frame by tiny frame. But I'm actually learning a lot. Also, it's great to have an excuse to use After Effects again - for an actual purpose, besides doing Video Copilot tutorials... see more on that later.

Here are some images of a before and after of what I'm working on... still needs some work, but so far, I like it:
