This project was a highly engaging process at every stage. Transitioning to shooting in RAW proved challenging as repeatedly applying formatting settings across entire batches of images was undeniably tedious. However, the resulting dynamic range fully justified the rigorous process.

My favourite phase of the workflow was creating GIFs in Photoshop. Exploring the vast array of  effects, frame rates, and file export formats while learning how their specific properties impact loop timing and resolution was rewarding. Transitioning these assets into After Effects and Media Encoder to render finalised video clips further refined my command over key framing and post production compression.

While navigating the steep learning curve, overcoming these technical hurdles was immensely satisfying. Gaining hands-on proficiency across this software suite has significantly expanded my visual production capabilities. I am glad to have acquired these foundational skills and look forward to applying these newly mastered tools, workflows, and creative techniques to future projects.
