Post Processing

I have started assembling all my materials I have created, that is puppet animations, object animations and photographs of other objects in the set, and prepared them for post processing. I spent a great deal of time finding the optimal way to get the blue screen part out my animations and photographs. I eventually found the best settings in after effects which is an effect called Keylight that helps in removing the blue bits properly.

I later put all objects, after being stripped out of the blue screen, in one layer, and started experimenting with the colours, shading, and layouts. I realised that it takes just as much time in post processing as in animating.
