Mother's Days' : Technical Document

This is my technical document to accompany my short animation 'Mother's Days'.

This document explains how I created and composited the CG smoke and burning embers, of a character's cigarette, into my stop-motion animation footage. This document is a requirement for grading.

(Since uploading this document to Scribd, the images have become jagged, they do not have this problem in the original PDF.)

The following clips accompany this documentation.

Clip 01. How the footage looks with the elements composited together.

Clip 02. The original footage - starting point.

Clip 03. The Computer Generated smoke rendered on it's own.

Clip 04. The burning embers rendered on their own.
