HISTORICAL BEFORE & AFTER REEL
I originally cut this reel back in 2002 or 03 I think. It showcases Before & After shots/comps. The label replacement on the Lysol wipes container was all done in 2D/Flame, so all those passes (light, reflections, contact and falloff shadows) were all manually created in Flame.
And the last shot (last "Before & After" in this reel, Mouse trap) was a fun one. Clients were hoping to have a fuller feel and more impact of the toy mouse being smashed to pieces, but the original plate didn't have much. So I picked up some still frames of those broken pieces (the cogs, wheels, etc) from the original plate, added them back to the plate with varying sizes and looks, and hand-animated them (keeping gravity etc in mind) for a bigger impact. After everything said and done and with the appropriate audio SFX complimenting the added flying and landing pieces in the final comp, it all worked out well..
