Experimenting with animatics before was successful, so now I had the task of creating the actual animations which are going to be incorperated into the final video. The three animations I had to consider were the first 'lightening bolt' animation within the video, the second one, which is more pronounced in its visuals and is in time with the music, and then the Scott Pilgrim logo itself, which moves in a very particular way:

Cutting out the shapes in Photoshop and creating individual frames, I inserted these frames into Premiere and made them each 1/24th of a second long. Next I exported the files and added them into adobe after effects. The original footage contains animations with a 'color synch' effect (not too dissimilar to the visual style of an old 3D film when you remove the cardboard glasses); I have no idea how I am going to achieve this effect at this point as after effects does not contain a 'color synch' preset. The animations however are now in place and keyframed, which was a long and arduous task, not to mention the masking that had to be done in order to give the animatics a sense of depth, successfully integrating them into the 3D space of the video.
