Animation Production Pt.8

This is the last and final scene I had to do before I was done with my scenes for this project. It was a scene of a forest fire, which I thought was simple enough to do. I didn't know what I was getting into though. Getting the scene together was easy enough, the hard part was putting in the animated fire everywhere. I had to first cut out all the fire pieces from the vector trace they were made from. Then I had to import them to after effects and put each of them in their own composition. I needed them to be animated so I put each frame down and I realised that it only lasted 8 frames.

I used this technique to make the pre-comp repeat itself after the animation was done. Once I got done with that I had to duplicate each of them, and then change the frame they started on for each of them so I wouldn't have the flames all repeating at the same time. I moved them in and out of the trees, and added a noise effect onto them to make them look like paper. I'm now finished with all the rest of my scenes for this project.
