You have 3 different versions :
RAW : Which is the original, non filtered video
Warm : Which has a much more "warm" (orange) tone
Cool : Which has a much more "cool" (blue) tone
I couldn't decide on a version, so I exported all of them :D
Minus the non-perfect video loop, there are 2 small funny mistakes you can notice if you look for it. I won't tell you what they are, but you can let me know if you find them.
So this scene was rendered extremly bright, then toned down in the compositor using light groups, and composited with cryptomatte layers in after effects. I always hated that workflow, but it got better over the years, and I finally decided for it because I found a good use of neat video plugins to use a temporal denoiser, so the image doesn't flicker during animations.
It was my first attempt, and I don't feel satisfied with the "colors" and general look of the lighting, because it's not realistic when you use so much composition. Although, the result is better than amazing, because for the amount of noise in the scene and the darker look of it, I managed to render it looking that good in 4k, 700 images, in 80 hours.
So now I'm going to focus on first preparing the scene and do test renders, before starting to animate. This will better assure the quality of the renders.
Anyway, getting back to work real soon, and can't wait to post another one! <3

very hot, probably the best Ellie/beast animation I've seen, and I've seen them all
Virtuality4d
Hehe, I'm glad you feel the same like I do <3

Damn, do I ship these two now?
Virtuality4d
100% yes! I do plan to expand my horizons. Adult Ellie would be next, then I was thinking about other not that much seen characters like Ciri. My main focus right now is to learn new technologies to improve the quality significantly, and animation production. I will then grab a model from the internet, but will heavily tweak it to my liking like I did with my Ellie model.
maybe animation with adult ellie (from tlou2) someday? this looks amazing tho
They worked perfectly thank you so much

And done! Let me know if full hd is still too much. I'll output 720p formats then. I should do a poll for this stuff :D
Virtuality4d
It's probably because the videos are in 4K. I forgot again to upload the 1080p versions, so I'll do that and it should play good then on your laptop!
Also it's good to see Ellie spend some quality time with her boyfriend lol. I really like the animation, you make the best Ellie stuff on the net mate.
Does the video stutter at the start for anyone else or is it just my laptop?
