Major sprucing up scene by adjusting my 'rules'

 Though I had a 'RULE' that every scene should equate to at least '10' seconds mainly because I want to prevent the scene from going too fast that it is not clear what actually happened. I changed that to benefit the scene and audio without doing separate After Effect files so that the transition would already be made and the anticipation made the words smoother.


  This original scene was planned to be the Boy and the Parents for 10 seconds but the script and the voice acting specifically said 'I hate THIS toy'. The audience gets lost if I say 'THIS' and don't specify what the focus is. In the story, the toy is important, but still, that was not obvious by the wording so I further implied it.

Major final animation

This is it, the final animation, the culmination of all these months and blog posts. There was a slight hesitation on "WHEN" to post it leading up to it due to rendering times, but as it's complete and there's no reason to add extra stress and upload it on the last day, which is the 18th of May, I'll upload it now. Reacting to the animation, I'm quite proud of how far I've come from the previz. During the previz stage, I was unaware of Substance Painter and how much it could do for me. I was also unaware of After Effects, as I prioritized Adobe Premiere above it. However, I have found After Effects more user-friendly and powerful, regardless of my prior history with other editing software. As displayed in my blog posts by me, I did have to look at Youtube for help, and I was honest with that to help me improve on unfamiliar equipment.

Major not losing lighting
