COMPOSITING
This is a city set extension comp project that I did. I started by tracking the camera move in PFtrack. Then I moved into maya where I set up CG buildings in the places that I wanted to add or replace buildings. I created building textures in Photoshop that I projected onto the 3d objects from a 3d camera. I then rendered out the buildings. Then I moved into Nuke where I rotoed everything that needed to be infront of the CG buildings. Then i color corrected and added refletion passes to make the buildings match the plate.
​
The footage is free stock footage and the entire process was done by me.
This is a match move project where I added an insect to moving footage. I used PFtrack to track the scene. Maya to animate and render the passes. I used Nuke to comp and Roto.
​
The footage is original taken by me. All comping and tracking done my me. The animation was done by me by following a Digital Tutors tutorial. The insect asset is also from Digital Tutors
