More Helluva Boss shots I worked on as a compositor! I did all the compositing for this entire scene where Blitz and Stolas meet for the first time outside the palace. This was my first time using After Effects so there was a lot of trial and error involved.
A few thoughts:
I really love the fountain fx in the background (note: I did not draw/animate the fx). I had to do a lot of masking so that the water appears both in front and behind peeking through the holes in the fountain.
The sparkle fx on Paimon's cape, I had to key out the masking because you can see the cape moves when he pulls back to smack Stolas. Same in the shot directly after when we see the inside of his cape and he's gesturing with his hands in front of it -- I had to mask and key out every movement to make sure the sparkles stayed behind him!
I remember the 'oh right sorry father' shot being a challenge because the rings around Stolas' eyes were on a layer that needed some adjustment but I learned a lot about 'colour key' and 'colour keep' in the process. I was SUPER happy when I figured it out! Especially in combination with getting their eyes to glow.
Playing back the 'I'm so good at daddying' shot to check for stuff, and I must've laughed every single time he said it.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the results considering this was my first time compositing and I was learning on the job!
