Animation & AR Project - Britney Spears Virtual Concert

In this project, me and my teammate Frank are thinking of doing a virtual concert for Britney Spears using the lyrics Frank generated with runway ML, which is a machine-generated Britney Spears style song.

We are planning to 3D model out a stage with 5 characters, ‘Britney Spears’, 3 background singers, a guitar player/a drummer. The characters are going to dress in Britney’s iconic outfits with animal heads.

We animated the five characters in After Effect and uploaded our file to Areo and use it in AR.

There were still some features in Aero that could not work so well, for example, we tried to create a path so ‘Britney Spears’ can show up from the top of the stage, but we could not figure out how to set it in Aero that we could make it work in preview but cannot make it play in the actual scene (video shown below). However, I edited in the final video that make it looks like she is coming out from the top of the stage.
