Week 11

This was the insane week, after making all the title intro's for it, thank you ending, VFS plates, etc. I started rendering it out, half way through my file crashed, I restarted AE and lo and behold all my AE data got lost, so all the stitch work got lost with that. So after shedding a few tears and about half hour of shock, I picked myself up, and got in order what I needed to do to get this finished, asap. So luckily I worked this project in two parts the intro and the fighting sequence, I still had those two done and saved in different parts, so I put back together again resaved, and switched on autosave this time! (big lesson) and rebuilt it back up, no sleep, all nighter for a couple of days, and added the sound effects and music. Handed in a version before the end of the week, and during the weekend, refined it even more.

And this was the product of all the hard work and labour.

Week 10

This week I finalized the fighting footage, and added all the graphics for that, including the adobe illustrator stills which is used for the slow motion sword hits. I then combined the intro and the fighting footage, I stitched them both together so it doesnt look like its stitched together.

Week 9

This week was starting to get even more intense, and had the footage all ready to go, and now was the time to get all my assets together and piece it together to create the intro, you will see the flowers, plants, clouds, smoke, 3D tree's/moon/sun/sword/ninja stars, I put that all together, and refined it more for timing and colour correction.

Week 8

So after all the footage was taken, I had a whole slew of editing to do, taking it all in AE render it out to QT, import it into premiere, and edit all the footage that I knew I wanted, after finishing all that, I rendered out all the shots to another QT file for editing in AE. So pretty much it was like a box full of puzzle pieces and now had to put it all together into a sequence that made sense.
So the whole week was pretty much editing of all the footage. :)
