Showing Elle the final video, she commented about the flatness of the effect overlay and how it could be more convincing if the skin textured showed through. Since I wanted to do this anyway from the beginning, I decided to revisit it. I actually found that the sequence I was importing from Premiere had less than 100% opacity, so in After Effects the max opacity I was working with wasn't actually black as it should have been, leading to a much too light result when using some blend modes. I fixed this up and used the overlay blending mode, and the effect definitely saw an improvement in believability.
