Final Animation with Sound Effects...

I think I managed to cut out the ugly glow on the bacteria and fingers crossed the sounds work with it, I struggled a little with them but I think they work well enough.

Final Animation Part 2...

I'm currently working on the sound effects so I just wanted to know if this version has a better connection to the music and looks a little tidier. Also, I tried re-rendering a couple of the scenes but it didn't really help too much so I just tried editing in a couple of extra shots of the bacteria.



It's shorter, so I'm worried it's a little too fast, but let me know if you think it's good enough to keep working with or if I need to tweak it.

@Phil, Final Animation (First Draft) Feedback Please.

Try and watch it in HD if you can, the particles are quite subtle :P



It's a little jerky at points so I've popped back and put some cross fades in to fix it and there are no sound effects as I was worried about having too much going on with the music and the voice over. Other than that I'm generally pretty happy with it :)

@Phil, After Effects Help...

I'm just playing around at the moment but I quite like the idea of using a vignette and I've also tried a particle effect:



I think this is quite nice but I don't know if it's too much. What do you think?

Help with Render Passes Please!

I've finished making the animation but I'm worried about the render time when it comes to the extra passes. I've started rendering the ambient occlusion, beauty and specular passes but its so much slower than just rendering the one. Do we need these passes or will the normal beauty pass be enough? I don't want to fall behind because of it :(

Voice Over!

Ready to go! :D

Couple of Tweaked Videos...

The glow wasn't on in the previous ones so here's the two I have so far:





The lights quite bright. I'm not sure if it's too bright or not but atleast it's all working :)
