AM Bandito short film compositing technique breakdown

…but how fast is it?

I’ve used a rough and ready compositing technique for all of my films, and thought I’d share it was everyone. It’s proven quick, reliable, easy to render and as an example I was able to completely render and composite my Bandito film in 5 days.

Its important to note, that prior to this step, I never render any of my animation. I always stay in playblast, until I am COMPLETELY done. Even then, sometimes I’ll leave it as playblast. However, for my short films, its work the time and effort to do this. Hope the video is enlightening.

Technical Stills:

I’ve also attached pictures from my first Sheridan film so you can see raw layers from the comp there as well.
