Once Bitten: compositing

About this Blog

I am an MSc Animation & Visualisation student at DJCAD in Dundee, Scotland. "Once Bitten" is the working title for my personal project and final outcome short film. The characters in my film will be 2D, animated digitally, but the environments they inhabit will be filmed in live action.

"Once Bitten" is a story about a woman who meets a wolf cub alone in the forest, the mood is light and playful and about the pair of new friends escaping their normal lives. However the mood darkens when the cub accidentally falls into a human trap and his mother catches up with him and his new companion.

New Rough Cut

I composited together a more up to date rough cut. It has everything i aim to have in the finalised film in it- at least in rough form, and sometimes in complete-animation-but-no-colour form. This rough cut should be close to, or bang on the final timing for the film i hope to hand in in a few weeks time- which will be helpful when preparing sound for it. It's also a good indicator of exactly where i am in production for everyone to have a nosy at :) A few people are helping me inbetween the clean keyed scenes and i have yet to start farming out scenes to colour....

Rough-cut Composition

I put together some of my final footage (pre- colour correction and grading) with some finalised line animation and tried out some 2D tracking and masking:

The only thing apart from workload that worries me atm is the length this rough cut is coming out at... almost double my animatic- probably due to over generous time allowance when filming. I'm hoping this time will go down as i fully animate sections and have to cut the footage to match the animation.
