"The Lumon manual doesn't say anything about lip to lip contact."
"It does discourage romantic fraternization, though."
Thank you to Januarium for your beta help, and working through different songs.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
I went through a few different songs, but the lyrics and/or tone never quite matched. I settled on an stripped back, instrumental piano piece. I think the tone works really nicely.
I'm pleased with how strong the storytelling is in this one. I would have liked to get a little more about why he isn't ready, but the show does that primarily through dialogue.
The vignette effect was done using two layers. The top layer just has a circular mask, so that it is transparent towards the edges. The bottom layer is then brightened up and blurred. The timeline for the bottom layer is also shifted by a couple of frames, which gives a nice ghosting effect to movement towards the edges. The tricky part with that is making sure that all the transitions still line up, otherwise you get a couple of frames of the previous clip around the edges.
