postvis for feature films

Haunted mansion (disney) 2023

A fun show to work on as it required lots of different techniques.

  • BG replacements of blue screen plates - scaled & aligned to LIDAR scans of the practical set & camera tracked using PFTrack.

  • Maya Bullet solver for rigid body simulations for smashing or breaking props

  • Maya Bifrost fluid simulations for water flowing under door & ceiling drips

  • Maya nParticle fx for bubbles & steam.

  • Maya Fluids - fireplace fire & smoke fx

  • After Effects Content Aware Fill paintouts patches to remove Safety rigs & stage lights

  • Maya nCloth simulations for Crump ghost (cut from final as storyline changed)

PREVIS FOR FEATURE FILMS

BLACK ADAM (DC FILMS) 2023

Hybrid Previs/Postvis workflow as we got back early plates with the principal &/or stunt actor to incorporate rotomated CG weapons, armor & wings. We would then choreograph fight scenes with animated CG characters to see how they would work with the current script. We filled in the missing scenes with all CG previs animation. Although technically Postvis, these were considered hybrid shots since we were still piecing together the elements for the shots to fill in the missing gaps while production filming was still in progress.

Some foreground plates were matte paintings of stitched plate elements with a camera move. The camera would be tracked & solved in order to render a CG background plate. The matted character would be precomped with their rotomated armor & weapons and then composited on top of the 2.5D FG/BG plate.
