Corridor Animation Process

How I Did It
Once I has Batch rendered my entire project as individual frames, I brought them into Photoshop (File > Open > Select frame 1, then click on Options below > check Image Sequence > Import) to fiddle with the brightness before importing them into Adobe Premiere to get the playback speed right.

Attempt 1
My first attempt at animating my sequence came out way too dark compared to the original made in Maya, so I'm making a second copy and increasing the intensity of the red lights and changing from Maya's Vector renderer to Mental Ray so the view through my camera can actually be seen. I edited the speed of my animation in Adobe Premiere as the keyframes in Maya are just a tiny bit too fast.

Attempt 2
This version went a bit better than the last, with the picture being clearer and the textures being corrected. The red lights still come up as very dark so it's harder to see the props on the floor, and the back of the corridor is transparent instead of having a wall which makes it look a lot more clunky and rushed. The speed still had to be edited as the keyframes were too fast, but the movement still looks fluid.
