Instead, I spent all my time in After Effects, working on three consecutive sequences that was animated last week. This 12.5 second stretch had a lot of effects; and it not only took time to get those done, but I also had to ensure consistency between the shots &#8211; adding extra time on top.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pivisuals.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/PortalWalkThrough.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2949 size-medium\" title=\"Hey, wait!

Instead, I will review the completed footage to see what needs adjusting and tightening. I also want to add in more sound effects as the first part of the short already has them, but a good part does not. Ultimately, I am happy with my progress the last month or two. While I anticipate revisions for the existing footage, I only have about 50 seconds left of new animation to do&#8230; not too shabby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t mentioned it much the last few weeks, but things are moving along with the short.
