Animated Exeter - 3D compositing

So, I've taken a picture from the Ivan Biliban book which Ben brought in as concept art for the project. In photoshop I have cut all the elements into individual layers and then put the whole composition into After Effects.

I then converted the layers into 3D and created a camera. Each of the layers can be moved away from the camera at different distances which means I can move forward or sideways and create an illusion of depth.

It's not perfect, but it's been very useful as practice for using a camera and 3D space. I spoke to Kathy yesterday and she seemed to like what I'd done, but I suspect that might be because the art work is Bilabin's.

I was using this as part of my "research and development" for the compositing role for this project. At the moment, there doesn't seem to be much else I can do. I have spoken to Adam, our producer, and he has told me to continue with R&D. There have been some delays to the stop motion section which means everything else has been delayed.
