Animating the tunnel camera and putting the plates together

Over the last two days I have worked towards finishing the background plates for this project. I animated a camera in Maya to move backwards out of the 3D tunnel, and then looped the animation to play for as many frames as I needed. I then rendered out over 1000 png files to put into After Effects.

I have then spent all of today putting the shots together with the background plates and making sure everything is positioned properly and looks how I want it to. I then rendered out 10 of the 14 shots with the background plates, so they are now ready to go back into After Effects for the last effects stage, the 3D text, before being put into Premiere Pro to fix all the shots back together and add the audio for the final render. 4 of the shots have not had the background plates added because they are side views so I need to render out a side view from Maya, which I will do during the Digital Compositing class next week.

I feel as though I am getting close to finishing now and I feel confident about the work I have produced so far. I am hoping to get this project finished in the next couple of weeks so that I can concentrate on my major project, as there is more work to do for that module.
