After the final editing and modification, and the most important combination of background music, the film is finally finished ! ! !

This is the effect of fireflies and moonlight I made for a summer night scene to add a romantic atmosphere 

The moonlight effect is made with "shapes" 

Fireflies are made with the "CC Particle World" effect

This is the scene of the leaves falling, the material comes from the leaves provided by Ran Wang 

Different leaf drops use different rates and areas of influence from the "CC Particle World" effect 

I debugged different colors for the leaves to distinguish them from different varieties

This is the scene of snowflakes I combined two different ways to make snowflakes 

The first is to directly use the "Snowfall" effect in AE. This effect can make small snowflakes in the shape of dots 

Another is to use the "CC Particle World" effect. Using the snowflake elements that Ran Wang gave me, I can make three-dimensional, rotating, and different styles of snowflakes flying. 

I debugged different colors for the leaves to distinguish them from different varieties

Dynamic storyboard experiment test 26.1 

Here are some demonstrations of the "Bevel and Emboss" and "Drop Shadow" effects on the character 

The purpose is to highlight the three-dimensional sense of the "Cut-Out Style" And this is a way to enhance the integration of the character with the background image 

I also added this "scatter" style to some elements of the background, making them uniform in style and adding a three-dimensional effect

In addition, I modified the color and pattern of each tree to make them look unique and interesting

This is the "home" shape I made with masks and shadows and keyframes. 

This can add hints of key elements of "family" and "affectionate" 

At the same time, it can also make the title not affected by the complicated background picture.

I directly used the material that Ran Wang gave me 

I achieved the effect of flexible stretching and bending of the hand by setting the position keyframe and rotation keyframe of the finger layer respectively 

In addition, I also added the mask movement effect of the snowdrifts and the glow effect of the saplings

First of all, I imported the PS file into the Ai software, enlarged the parts of the body, and converted them into Ai format (Ai is a vector calculation method, it can keep the picture high-definition when the size is modified) 

Then, I imported the Ai file into the AE software 

Add bones to characters with Duik Bassel in AE 

In particular, some body parts will be added with "bevel and emboss" effects, which can help the character show a three-dimensional effect. 

Finally, make keyframe animations for each of the three characters

Here's how a winter tree is made

First, I patterned the trunk and adjusted the timing and color of the glow Finally, I used "CC Snowfall" to create the effect of falling snow

Here's how an autumn tree is made 

I adjusted the color with "Saturation and Hue" 

Next, I used the Mesh Warp tool to change the way the leaves shook 

After that, I patterned the trunk and adjusted the timing and color of the glow 

Then, I used "Bevel and Emboss" to enhance the 3D effect of the tree (this feature I also occasionally add on characters) 

Finally, I used "CC Partido World" to create different styles of leaf falling effects

Here's how a summer tree is made 

I adjusted the color with "Saturation and Hue" 

Next, I used the "turbulent displace" tool to change the way the leaves shook 

After that, I patterned the trunk and adjusted the timing and color of the glow 

Finally, I used "Bevel and Emboss" to enhance the 3D effect of the tree (this feature I also occasionally add to characters)

This is how spring trees are made

I adjusted the color with "Saturation and Hue" Next, I used the “ Mesh Warp ” tool to change the way the leaves shook After that, I patterned the trunk and adjusted the timing and color of the glow Finally, I used "CC Partido World" to create the effect of falling petals in different styles

The overall process is: 

First, make IK bones for my character

Next, make character action animation 

After that, make scenes and cameras for animation 

Finally, put all AE animation clips into PR to edit and synthesize the final short animation film

I re-adjusted the color matching for each scene to make the colors of the four seasons look more harmonious and unified. I used the "Hue and Saturation" function key in the AE effect bar to adjust each layer and element

Also, I added some masking, glow, and shadow effects to add a 'Cut-Out' style to the overall picture

After I shared some ideas with the team members, they were very supportive and gave me some hand-painted patterns, so some of our detailed effects have been iterated.

I gave Ran Wang an idea, Wish she painted each tree a different bark pattern This tree can connect with the growth of characters and the formation of families in the changing seasons It seems to be similar to the usefulness of totems in ancient times.

(These are just some rough sketches of my ideas, not used in the final film, just to help Ran understand the ideas I'm articulating)
