For Bensons we are providing Life Style still images and animations.  We can have access in this information in briefing stage.  For the animations we need to have a few things in mind

1. We must first deliver the still images and then start with the animation.

2. Still images and animation must have consistency, for this reason when we are creating the still images we should do the post production only in fusion and exclude photoshop from the workflow . 

3. If we have animation we must use 3D environment and not backplates outside of the windows to avoid issues with parallax.  We have in our data base 3D Animated tree models or we are using still 3D tree models with fake leaves animation. The wind speed must be low so it is not taking the attention from the product.     

4. We have a template scene file that has animated cameras that we are mostly using for Bensons. At the beginning of the animation we should merge this file in the 3D  Scene file. The template scene file lives here
   R:\06_TEMPLATES\02_PRODUCTION_TEMPLATES\BENSONS_CAMERA_ANIMATION_TEMPLATE
   Next we should do adjustments so we can be aligned with the brief . 

5. Make always sure that the scene setup is with PAL frame rate settings (25 fps)

6. We are delivering animation in FULL HD resolution (1920 X 1080)

7. We have 3 different template settings in RP Manager for animation, Low, Mid and high settings so you can load them with one click. In some cases though we need to customize them. 

8. We must always make sure that we are rendering raw image files in order to use the Denoiser pass of V-ray and the lens effect pass.  Advise always the Lead artist of the project before you submit.
