Detailing with a Multi-Pass workflow

In this tutorial we will be going over some compositing techniques in After Effects. We will be using a Depth Pass to create light rays and atmospheric perspective.

We will also be rendering out a Caustics Pass and a Bloom and Glare pass to give the image that extra punch.
Throughout the process I jump back into Photoshop several times to make judgement calls on composition and detail control. Hope you enjoy it!
