Well this post is a little before and after my vacation. Before I left Vita and I were working with cleaning up and furthering the Cezanne style city. Since we were having so many problems rendering with the filters inside of After Effects (the paint strokes randomly jittered frame to frame and nearly gave me a seizure), we decided to attempt to batch render the image sequences inside of photo shop and pulling it back into after effects. There is still some movement in the paint strokes but it is getting better. Now I need to clean up the "action" created inside of photoshop to make the video look more painterly. I think it is still lacking the brushed look as the filters from after effects. After rendering out a short clip traveling through the city, I began working on a cubist approach to the city. It is still in the early stages but I'm using the same "action" batch render from Photoshop to after effects. I have a couple of video clips to upload but they keep failing. I'll keep trying. Meeting yesterday with Nikkie and Vita about today's presentation with the theater folks.
