creating the eyes.

So I was asked to change the color of the Celia's eyes at the end to indicate that something had changed within her. I decided to do this first because it seemed the easiest, so it would be less time consuming.

This the kind of effect I got, I did this by tracking a segment of pupil usually Its either the inner black circle of the pupil or the outer circle of the pupil that id tracked in After Effects. this was more of a trial and error process, so I did end upo doing it 2-3 times till I thought the track was accurate. I added a null object to the track, which would help me out later.

I then Created an adjustment layer and then created a mask around the inner pupil and the whole pupil, I did this process for both eyes, and then by adding a curves effect, I was able to easily adjust the color of the eyes, I then parented the adjustment layers to the Null objects so it would move along with the footage. After showing rosie who was in charge of the project she felt they needed to be a bit more subtle, so I changed the blending mode and the color to red!

This was an interesting experience for me because I was slowly getting use to what it would feel like working with clients and their expectations and how things can shift very easily.
