As the logo shadow has just finished rendering, I have composited it in with the logo and footage in Nuke. I'm really happy with the result as the shadow fits well into the footage, and adds as the blocks build the logo up. At first it wouldn't composite properly, but after playing with the alpha channels and altering the strength of the shadow, it now fits well. I might end up polishing the shadow more, but at the moment I'm ahppy with how it's sitting. I'm going to play around with some more nodes now, such as Grain, Noise and Degrain and see what I can add to the sequence. 

 

I've also added a 'ghost block' effect to the logo-build-up. Basically, the blocks are in a ghost form just before the reach full form. This gives an increased effect off to show the logo rendering. I actually got this effect by mistake, because I got this effect from using a MotionBlur node. I added it to blur the edges of the logo when the camera is moving, but it also added the 'ghost block' effect aswell, which I'm pleased with. I asked for feedback off other students and they agreed that it really added to the effect.
