Compositing

Compositing is without a doubt one of my least favorite things to do on the planet and the blame falls in no small way on this project. Every step of the way up until this point was smooth sailing but when it came down to compositing both myself and Nathan have fairly good grasps on both Nuke and After effects (Compositing Software) so with our combined efforts and expertise it should have been easy. wrong. The software was a nightmare to work, with frequent crashes, errors and worst of all the dreaded file corruption. Eventually after much stress and grief we finally managed to get the video edited and pieced together. All that was left was to attach the sound effects and dialogue to the animation. However, unbenounced to us one of the video compositions of Sam our actor, decided to render itself out in 25 frames a second instead of 24. This may not seem like much of a difference but when we attached his dialogue to the video it go gradually more and more out of sync with what he was saying and it wasn't and easy fix to say the least.
