Sebrae EMPRETEC

Empretec SEBRAE 3D PRODUCTION & COMPOSITING The Project The Empretec institutional film required 3D environments integrated with live-action footage, but the project had a limited production budget. The challenge was to achieve the required visual result while keeping the production pipeline as streamlined as possible. Role 2D/3D Production Compositing ON-SET Collaboration THE APPROACH Instead of building a conventional 3D-to-compositing pipeline, I explored a more compact approach using Element 3D inside After Effects. This allowed the green-screen extraction, camera tracking, 3D environments and compositing to be handled within the same application, reducing the need for multiple rendered passes from 3ds Max. The approach simplified the compositing workflow, but testing also revealed an unexpected limitation: rendering the 3D elements through After Effects was heavier than the original 3ds Max rendering pipeline. The final production nevertheless achieved the required result within the project’s constraints. ON SET The filming was planned with the later compositing and 3D integration in mind. Following the shoot made it possible to anticipate camera, framing and chroma key requirements before the material reached post-production. FROM GREEN SCREEN TO FINAL COMPOSITE Live-action footage was combined with 3D environments and graphic elements to create the final visual compositions. AfterBefore AfterBefore AfterBefore 3D & COMPOSITING The 3D environments were developed to match the visual language of the production and provide the backgrounds and graphic spaces required for the filmed sequences. The final compositions combined the live-action footage, chroma key extraction, 3D elements and graphic assets. FINAL IMAGE The final images were adjusted and color-corrected to bring the live-action footage and digital elements together as a cohesive visual piece. ◄ Previous project View all projects ▲ Next project ► Let’s chat.

Cidade Dourada

Cidade Dourada 3D Production & Post-Production CIDADE DOURADA is a 13-episode children’s series produced by Bioma Produções for TV Escola, combining live-action footage, 3D environments, animation and visual effects. Role 2D & 3D Animation Post-Production Coordination Composition & VFX Color Correction PROJECT My involvement began with the production of 3D environments and animated elements designed to integrate with the filmed material. As production progressed, my role expanded to post-production coordination, overseeing the integration and finalization of the visual material for delivery to the production company. 3D Production The 3D production included environments and animated elements designed to bring the filmed backgrounds to life, including moving skies, cars, birds, butterflies and other environmental details. skip render: ucaddon_uc_tiles_grid_image BRINGING THE CITY TO LIFE Animated environmental elements were added to create movement and depth within the 3D backgrounds, from passing cars and flying birds to moving skies and smaller details throughout the city. FROM FOOTAGE TO FINAL SHOT The live-action material was filmed against a blue screen and later integrated with the 3D environments and animated elements created for the series. AfterBefore AfterBefore POST-PRODUCTION The post-production process involved blue-screen extraction, rotoscoping, compositing, 2D motion graphics, color correction and final shot preparation. With the departure of the previous post-production lead, my responsibilities expanded to coordinating these stages and supervising the work of the team involved in rotoscoping, compositing and VFX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8JeyoL9mkQ POST-PRODUCTION CHALLENGE One of the most demanding episodes involved a puppet character filmed with visible nylon support lines. The decision to remove the lines required extensive rotoscoping and reconstruction of the footage before compositing and finalization. The work involved a dedicated artist working on the episode for approximately four months. https://vimeo.com/1230759436?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci PRODUCTION & COORDINATION The post-production involved a team working across rotoscoping, compositing and VFX. My role included coordinating these stages and overseeing the visual material through to final delivery. https://vimeo.com/1230762596?fl=pl&fe=sh FINAL DELIVERY Completed shots were delivered fully composited and color-corrected to the production company, where they were assembled with the final edit, sound and other elements of the series. https://vimeo.com/1230764838?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci THE FINAL RESULT The final episodes combined live action, 3D environments, animation and visual effects into a single visual world. ◄ Previous project View all projects ▲ Next project ► Let’s chat.
