DESCRIPTION
As I get close to finishing the animation for the J.J. plush ad, I've been adding a couple of effects and post filters to give it the look of hand-painted cels:
Subtle paintbrush strokes on the color fills that are unique with each new frame...
A bit of shadow behind each cel, as if it were 1-2 mm above a painted backdrop...
Slightly aged/browned pencil strokes with a rough texture when seen up close...
..and plenty of the other usual stuff like soft blur, washed colors, dirt/hairs, gate weave, and film grain.
Thanks for being patient while we dial in these new ideas. I want episode 3 to have as close to a traditional look as possible, and this little side animation has been a great experiment for figuring it all out.
