Easing into the world of After Effects and setting the tone for the underwater scenes of my film. Here I have experimented with different lighting effects and particles rising in the water. I am satisfied with the colour variations, (although they unintentionally change quite rapidly in this clip), testing a palette of greens/blues/yellows and blending them together to achieve the right colour scheme for the underwater scenes.
In this clip I have used two Parallel lights for the light sources, a camera lens blur at different intervals whilst varying the amount of bubbles rising in the clip. The effect I used was CC Snow with the gravity set at -2.0 so that the particles rise the opposite way, however I don't think they are varied enough in this clip. I may consider using the Particle World Effect and adjusting the settings, however I still but a novice with this software but I am optimistic I will improve.
