A break down and time-lapse of shot 02 from Godslap Issue 02 animation. Software used - After Effects, Element, Blender and Photoshop.
This video is not so much a tutorial as it is a breakdown of how I composited this shot in After effects. Here you can watch 8 to 9hrs of work compressed into 4 minutes (that's not including Thaws time illustrating the assets).
It goes by quite fast as I didn't want to drag this video out too long, so for all those AE nerds out there, the left window is my main comp and the right window is all the pre-comps, you may pick up on little things watching it through a couple times.
I normally work with 2 or 3 screens so I tried to keep most of my work flow to the central screen, but there are some things I could not include that were off-screen. Feel free to ask any question in the comments with time stamps if you would like to know more about how we achieved certain things. This was the only shot I recorded while working on this project. If there is interest I may record more shots like this for future projects.
Below is a full making of the project
