Heavy focus on compositing techniques, working with professional-grade assets, and creating custom assets and animations to support the project.

Process & Breakdowns
Compositing - Ground Contact Breakdown
Programs: Nuke, After Effects
Both programs gave the opportunity to experiment with depth and composition, even for just the first shot of the ID. Lots of problem solving to achieve the cleanest key without breaking the illusion of chance existing in the same world as the doodads. It led to a lot of color correcting and even switching the backgrounds of plates to better hide any inconsistencies in the key.
Animation & Compositing - Logo Animation Breakdown
Programs: Cinema4D, Nuke, After Effects
Animated and lit in Cinema, but lots of color issues on just a Beauty render. AOV Passes helped achieve a crisp Nick Orange, allowing for additional layering and small edits in post.
