Rendering pass before and after

Animators from Snowglobe Animation helped out, animating the whole 30 second short in under two weeks, and Bully Entertainment's Carlson Bull ran the initial batches of renders. The shots looked very good, especially considering they were created at top speed.

However, there are about a thousand niggling little things I did to these shots to take the short to completion. There were slight changes in composition, color, contrast, lighting, and render settings. It's true what they say, that last 20 per cent takes 80 per cent of your time. I'm not sure how much difference anyone will see in these shots, but I think that final effort makes all the difference because it goes directly to that intangible bunch of stuff that adds up to feel.

See if you can spot the differences in the before and after pictures at the left.
