Week 19 - 17th May - Day to night

After Katie and I looked through her spirit animation for the end of the stop motion, we found that it was hard to see the delicate animation on top of the stop motion. So we decided to change the ending scenes to night. This also ties in with the memory book as the last shot the audience sees in the book is Arthur alone in London at night.

I was familiar with the technique changing scenes from day to night using After Effects, so thought this would be the most effective way. 

A breakdown of stages on how I created the exterior day to night:

1. Original shot

2. Additional forest background

3. Using curves to adjusts colour and contrast to create night look 

4. Adding in windows 

 

5. Creative a matte to apply moonlight effect

6. Moonlight effect

 

 7. Masked in additional moonlight on floor

9. Final shot with spirit dance in window
