It's been another two weeks since I have posted on my blog but that does not mean I have not been busy. Last week David suggested that I try to do everything in After Effects for my backgrounds instead of photoshop to reduce video noise in my stylized backgrounds for the project. I had quite a high level of success with that suggestion but I still want to take it higher in terms of production value because there is still some noise and I would like the images to be more "crisp". I would like the shapes to have more definition and the colors to carry more of a presence; not necessarily more vibrant as pronounced. The Style I'm going for looks like one of my watercolors or acrylic backgrounds.

Also I am bringing my Maya and After effects files to class today so I can see if my thinking is sound regarding my production strategies. I want to see what people have to say regarding how I am attacking the backgrounds, action and image production.
