Finished Layout Assets

Now that all the assets have been completed for the layouts, I just need to organise them into separate files ready to set up in After Effects for each shot. I have completed the set up for one of the biggest layouts, the DinerEast panorama below. I have included PNGs of what the DinerEast.ai file looked like before I began consolidating and pre-setting up the layout as well as after. The reason I had to go back and consolidate the assets were because of workflow issues in After Effects.

Here are the two main layouts - Diner East and William Table. These are the layouts where most of the animation will take place. There is also the kitchen layout which will be used a lot too.

After the layouts have been set up in After Effects, I will go back into Illustrator and add definition to the assets so they don't become too flat in 3D space. I will add gradients to certain assets and outlines to some of the bigger assets in the layouts too. To do this I will give them an off set outline with some simple brush / chalk texture applied to the outlines.
