Setting up After Effects

Once all the footage has been shot, I looked through my shots and put them together in Final Cut to create a rough edit. This would allow me to get rid of any unnecessary film and would give me sight of how Invasion will start to pan out.

I would then cut the appropriate scenes on Final cut, separate the green screen shots, and import them as a tiff image sequence. In total i had 14 sequences. When setting up After Effects I created a new composition, edit the preset to HDTV 1080 25 frame per second.
