Back when “Almost There” was in storyboard form, Lorelay Bove and I had ideas of how using After Effects’ mesh warp and puppeting capabilities could bring her concept art to life. Excited by this possibility, we, along with animator, Yoshi Tamura, decided to make this proof on concept after hours to show Ron and John what we had in our heads for the song sequence. The final version of the song did not use this technology with the exception of Tiana’s feather, but it did influence the look and feel of the final song sequence and would also pave the way for us making the end credits sequence.
