My task was to rig, texture, shade and animate the plants as well as to create the camera animation. Furthermore i realised the tiny hairs on some plants using Maya FUR. Finally I set up the renderings including several passes.

In the following gallery you will find images of the 10-second TV-spot.

Unfortunately this version was never show in television because the client didn’t like it. The Youtube-Video below shows the revised version of the spot, i didn’t contribute to.

My task was to integrate a digital village in the real life footage. The village is far in the background therefore I only had to roughly model the houses according to photos shot on set which were also used to project the textures onto the models. To catch some shadows I also modeled roughly the terrain, rendered everything with passes and gave it the comp department – done:)

For this project I created the riggs of all characters and I scripted the parallexe effects.

Rounding off I did the compositing in Fusion for nearly all shots and added visual effects like rain, raindrops on the windows, flashes and more.
