This is an older project, but one we may revisit for a portfolio update. If you scroll to the bottom of the Behance link below, you even get a rare picture of me, on the greenscreen at Atomic Studios in Chicago. The most awesome Ryan Duff was there for technical direction also. This is all rendered in Corona, 4k 30fps. Some greenscreen people were used to give us control over actions, as the storyboard from the client carried a strong narrative that required specific dialogue and actions. Thats not apparent here, this is our contribution to a larger piece which was live footage, with our CGI edited in. The timelapse street shot was great fun to make. We used a timelapse HDRI from hyperfocal and had to offset keys for the #anima people. All the ground level backgrounds, the streetscape and vehicles etc., that's all 3d. We did not do any tracking for this, we contrived shots to be lock-down, but have a reverse engineered move in post to kind of faux-track the scenes with a linear track. It worked well. The drone shot is the exception. Tracking was ok, not great, slides a bit in one shot. Also, the client requested we dumb down the realism of the aerial building render, as they felt the realistic building got lost... we had to make it less real to keep your eye on it. Hey ho, you gotta do what you gotta do. Thats one of the motivators to go back and clean this up for 2024. Production process for things like this have not changed too much in the 3d dept, but keying and other tangential tasks have changed dramatically. Better people models Revised edit/pacing. Revert to better exterior model/shaders Clean up aerial tracking Any other suggestions? #realestatemarketing #hospitalitymarketing
