Post Production Overview

The aim for this project is to produce an animation or object that can be layered over live footage. To do this I shall use Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere.

My initial idea was to show a variety of characters going through their daily routine, showing their thoughts and emotions through the use of thought bubbles over their heads. I also planned to convey their speech through the use of text which flows from their mouths.

However I have decided to change my idea to something which will allow me to try a greater variety of methods.
My idea is to show the perspective of someone who is experiencing a psychedelic trip. They shall be in an environment with a lot of people, some of them inspire positive emotions where as other will inspire negative.
I shall use effects such as trails, which follow the character’s hands and the liquify effect of which i have previously used whilst experimenting with Adobe After Effects.

This video demonstrates how the liquify tool can be used.

This link shows how director Terry Gillingham portrays psychedelic trips in the film Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

I also plan to use my previous idea of animated text flowing from the characters mouths.

The start of this clip from Tenacious D’s The Pick Of Destiny demonstrates this idea.
