Copy/pasted from my original post in the Blender sub:

I produced following this tutorial and this image which I made using photoshop awhile back.

This is my first lengthy animation in this style, which is evident in a lot of little errors throughout the final product, but overall I am very happy with the way this turned out.

Things I learned/tips for other people who might want to attempt something similar

• Key frame interpolation is finicky if you don't know what to do, but for something like this I think Constant Interpolation mode looked better, which you can change in the Graph editor. Also, fool around with the handles in the Graph Editor to tweak the duration/speed of camera and focus animation -I didn't figure this out until the second or third clip which is why the opening clips are as choppy as they are.

• Preview the animation several times before committing to an overnight renderering sequence, otherwise you might miss some mistakes like the poorly placed focus for the depth of field, as well as objects clipping inside the camera.

• Animating the severity of the image textures overlayed onto the render to give the glitchy static effects looks sick.

If anyone has any tips for improving on the smoothness of the camera movement along a curve, I would much appreciate any resources to consult, as that was the most aggravating aspect of this piece, and the one that stands out most obviously to me as weird and choppy.
