For the end scene, where both character appear underwater, the frames were rendered out as a PNG so that a background layer could be applied in After Effects. We decided that I would work on creating a number of potential backgrounds which could be used in this scene. I had originally had the idea of creating a background using traditional mediums such as watercolour. However, after some discussion, we decided that it would be a good idea to keep it 2D but digital, in order to fit with the aesthetic of the rest of the animation.
I played around in Photoshop with the gradient tool, because I wanted it to be relatively obvious that the setting had changed from above water to below water. I decided to g with the bottom left background, because it had the best alteration from light to dark, and it looks as though there is sunlight coming from the top of the water.
Ollie also decided that if there is time, when he incorporates his speech bubbles into the animation, he may add another effect over this background, to make it look slightly more blurred.
