POST-PRODUCTION

The Crowd

This is the animation that I focused on. Once Emma had added the finishing touches to all four of the animation in Post, they looked much more polished! As you can see on the right, area of the live footage have been masked out, so that the animated giffs can move around the screen.

Also, once the DAZED logo was added into the ending, it brought everything together really well, and added that connection between each film! We decided to go with the white logo, because for each film, it stood out the most from the surrounding environments.

 The Face

This animation, is one we all worked on together, by alternating roles. Once again, Emma focused on the post-production side of it.  This is the animtion that made is lean more towards using the white logo, because otherwise it would have blended into the background too much.

Producing this animation took around six hours of non-stop painting and shooting. It was tiring but it was well worth it!

 The Dance

This animation is the one which Molly focused on, although she didn't have much experience with animating, she produced some really good visuals and it worked really well!

Some of the camera shots for this section of live action were a little different, however this worked really well with the animated giffs in post, because they filled the spaces. For example, the first still on the left, shows an example of how we wanted Mel, the dancer, to move around the space quite a lot, because this would open up different areas for more animation to go.

 The Book

The stills shown here for The Book, again shows how Emma's post-production work has brought a lot more into the animation. Before hand, there wasn't a huge amount going on in this scene, so the incorporation of the giffs and the Logo, have helped bring it all into one.

Also, having the Logo at the end of each short, helps to reinforce the purpose of why we created these animation, which was to express creative freedom and independence.
