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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
THE FINAL RESULT
The final episodes combined live action, 3D environments, animation and visual effects into a single visual world.
