Due to our decision to edit the film down as we were running out of time, the only two scenes where the creep is in his room/balcony were the vertical slice and this one:
I had already done the vertical slice, so I used the same animation but put it on the new BG (that's just more zoomed out). In addition to that I also added a cast shadow for the girl to fit her into the scene better.
For the scene above, it involved a similar process to the vertical slice, the main difference being that the character is in the room, and thus needs to be affected by the various blending styles of the layers above, to give the effect that you're seeing her through a window. I had some trouble with my actual file, as clipping masks don't transfer from photoshop to after effects, therefore instead I had to manually mask the problem layers. I really liked this scene due to the clear separaction between FG, MG and BG provided by the balcony, the generated rain and the window effect. The finishing touch on this scene was to blur the FG balcony to really sell that depth.
I think this scene could have been improved with some hand drawn rain fx, as the after effects generated one looks a bit too much like snow.
