Extracting exr files in After Effects
https://cgi.tutsplus.com/tutorials/the-basics-of-exrs-for-after-effects--ae-20787
To access the passes contained within .exr files for use in After Effects, I have followed the tutorial above.
From this I can pre-compose layers in After Effects and import into Premiere via the dynamic linking option, and then edit and create my breakdown reel.

Freesound.org - final audio tracks added in Premiere Pro
The final edit and polish...
And some audio tracks added
Below: Premiere Pro UI, showing the timeline with sequences (directly linked to After Effects with the Dynamic Link option) plus some imported audio tracks.
I used simple adjustments to volume and included some audio transition fades...
All music was sourced from http://freesound.org and the authors below Proxima4, zxcvbn9, 150134 and j1987 are credited.

Tilt shift in After Effects
Shot_18 is of the water blob on the spring shoot...
During my penultimate tutorial with Phillip Vaughan, prior to next weeks final assessment, Phil suggested that I put a blur over the left hand stalk of the shoot.
Whilst the perspective works well, the mass and colour of the stalk on the left hand side is overpowering within the composition.
I anticipated adjusting the Zdefocus settings and image plane set up in Nuke and then re-rendering.
However, I followed the tutorial below and have applied a simple 'tilt shift' technique in After Effects...I've adapted the effect by rotating it by 90 degrees, so my tilt shift creates a substantial blur, just on the area that I wish to have out of focus...I also omitted to apply an 'invert' command to the adjustment layer mask, as I wanted the blur to be inside my rectangular mask, rather than outside - as per a usual tilt shift effect.
