Technically, I feel I have broadened my knowledge of the applications of After Effects (I animated lots of FIRE), as well as compositing and rendering.
Personally, it felt good to partake in animation that was more independent of university and collaborate with international people I hadn't met before.
I'm fairly pleased with the film we made. It gets projected on the opera house tomorrow so I'll have to see for myself whether it looks terrible or not. I hope it doesn't.
I'm not sure if I'd be keen to pursue projection mapping further. I think with time I'd get the hang of it, but I found it difficult to get my head around telling a story with one camera angle, working out which areas of the building I could and couldn't project onto and using the geometry of the building to enhance the story. Glad I gave it a go!
