My Process:

  • Scene Setup & Lighting: Created a moody and atmospheric environment, ensuring proper light bounce and shadows to emphasize Reyna’s presence.

  • Camera Animation & Motion Effects: Designed smooth camera transitions, dynamic angles, and subtle handheld shake for added realism.

  • Visual Enhancements: Applied depth of field, motion blur, and light flares to refine the cinematic look.

  • VFX & Compositing in After Effects: Enhanced the scene with energy effects, glow passes, and subtle distortions.

  • Sound Effects & Final Polish: Carefully synced audio elements to amplify the animation’s impact.
