Comparison
Tagline Design & Tracking
I adjusted the tagline design to fit the title action safe area and tracked it with the live-action shot.
Color Grading
I collaborated with Shashank to color grade our project. To determine the appropriate contrast and values for all the shots, we examined everything in black and white. Next, we adjusted the saturation of each shot, striving to match the colors as closely as possible to the reference live-action plate.
