The Apothecary Week 31 - Polishing Animation and Lighting

Dated: 10 April 2025

This week has been focused on polishing animation and starting to add lights to all of our shots. We are getting really close to our deadline so many of our shots will just be "good enough" for the film. I have also been work on cleanup animation on each shot as many of the animations don't have our characters in T-pose for the cloth simulations and I can quickly adjust the animation to look a little bit more smooth.

For lighting, our original plan has been to have Olivia light every single shot, but we have figured out that isn't possible. Our set is so heavy and it takes so long to load that we will have the person who worked on animation do the lighting as well. Olivia will adjust and polish the lighting for each shot once it is ready though.

Both the image and video are from the same shot, but we have clothing in the animation and it isn't there for the lighting tests we were working on.
