Proud to have been VFX Compositor on this film released as part of Humane World for Animals’ exciting rebrand. Thanks to director Johnny Kelly, Nexus Studios, FlyteVu and Humane World for Animals. A beautiful stop-motion film for an important cause, check it out here :

Snapshots

Find below the shot I’ve worked on. My tasks were :

  • Bluescreen chroma keying
  • Set extension with 2.5D Matte Painting
I’m pretty proud of this one… unfortunatelly it stays only a fraction of a sec in the final edit
In this one I had to add the relection of the flock of bird in the water… which is in reality just a noise that I quickly animated with a couple of expressions 😉
