One of the most important keys to producing a project utilizing a digital pipeline is the choice of critical software components. The software has to be open-ended and fast and most of all, be extremely responsive to the creative flow of the artist. For this project Adobe Premiere was used to edit the animatic storyboards as well as the live-action version. Adobe Photoshop was used for matte painting and additional digital paint fixes, while Newtek's Lightwave3D was used to generate the 3D CGI (computer generated imagery) required to complete some of the shots. Sonic Foundry Vegas was used for audio postprocessing and Adobe After Effects was then used to composite these effects, as well for final conform and color grading of the finished edit.
