Sunsets, Early Rendered Movie
Added 2025-11-19 21:22:37 +0000 UTCTime to make a movie!
I managed to get most of the piece's character layer rendered out (on frame step of 5, so only every 5th frame) and composited it with the sound.
It's early, but it really gives you an idea for how your piece works,
and you can take note of what there is to fix!
Obviously the animation is temporary, so we'll be focusing on the compositing side.
For example: After seeing this, 2 things stuck out to me
In the light, the lips are far too pink and not red enough.
Solution: Create a render layer with an alpha mask of the lips that i can independently adjust with a Hue/Saturation/Brightness node
There is too much noise in the faint yellow and green rim lights
Solution: I want some noise, but not a lot. So I'll render out those lights separately, that way I can control it more independently. Once I have the light on its own layer, I'll duplicate the layer, make one the noisy light and one denoised, then put them into a mix node and adjust the weight to be more leaned towards denoised, but not 100%. Finally, I can overlay that onto my character layer.
It's not done, but it's close. I hope to have this piece finished by the end of next week, and I'll be sure to share more before then!!
