Production Log #60

July 15th, 2024

This week I mostly did handpainted Grease Pencil animation to add smudge and smear effects over fast movements and some more glow effects for Mikassa's lightbody form in the Abyss.

Besides wrapping up the golden light trail FX and some minor work on the first breakdown shots that we are making now I spent a lot of time this week on reviewing patches for Blender and also preparing some demo files for the upcoming release.

I worked on compositing of pretty much the entire reel: Adding paintover renders from Vivien and Rik in shots that had a paintover treatment, doing brightness tweaks to make Mikassa more readable and compositing the motion trails in 250_whale and 260_return in.
