Testing 2D animation in a 3D enviroment

Here is my first test placing a 2D animation in a 3D enviroment using:
  • Animation: Will Chow's 1st year final major project
  • 3D objects: 3DS Max
  • Compositing Software: Premier and After Effects

Things I've learned:
  • I need to find the best ratio for Everyone to work in
  • I need to specify the frame rate of ech scene. 24fps for action scenes. 12 for all others
  • 2D has to be rendered out as PNG with an alpha channel
  • Premier is quicker and easier to use, but After Effects can change the lighting and blend the layers together if the scene needs it.
