Editing...

We are running way behind schedule and have encountered multiple problems from rigging mishaps to animation flops and rendering faults. I have been put in charge to edit everything together since I'm more experienced with editing programs than everyone else.



Compiled Render Composition

Firstly I compiled all our rendered scenes in the correct order. I imported them as Targa sequences because they were rendered in Targa format. I made sure that all our scenes had not time gaps in the timeline and then I began to apply all the effects needed in our film. I added plain font for our new title "Katie". It was agreed that our first title was not a good fit anymore and having a different title was more appropriate. I personally was glad that our title was changed, even if it was a very simple title.


Added Sound

After all the scenes, effects and ending credits were edited, our sound effects and soundtracks were added. Hope helped me edit the voices for Katie. With Jitesh's help we found a great backing soundtrack for the dream sequence and I used the other soundtracks that I had found for the final scenes and credits. Regrettably I ran out of time to add more sounds to the ending scenes of the dream sequence.

I would have preferred that we had more time for editing but we had no more time to spare. Even though everything wasn't edited exactly the way I wanted, our final edit was still pretty good.
