Stage 17
Once I had rendered all the 3D shots, I converted each image sequence into a video file in Adobe Premiere Pro. This allowed for fewer files overall in the final film. I also completed all of the 2D animated elements for the gun scenes, which were the only parts left in black and white.

The shots were then all input into a single scene file, and I began to colour grade all of the renders that came out in a different lighting than intended. As the lighting had changed for the final render between some scenes, I also used the Lumetri colour tool in Premiere Pro to compare and match some scenes to others. For example, the lighting (despite having the same lights in-scene) between the shot of the fallen tree with the fox tail and the fallen tree with the badger had rendered completely differently. The colour match tool was very helpful in getting the colour and lighting closer to how it should have been.
This did take a while, but eventually the colour grading between the scenes matched closely enough. I also created an updated version of the scope view with the new rendered shot of the badger.
