HOT AIR BALLOONS
After filming the live action plate, I did a 3D camera track in Boujou. For the foreground balloons, I used Maya to create 3D models using displacement mapping for the finer details. For the background balloons I touched up reference photos in Photoshop and then applied those images to cards to be combined with the 3D balloons in Maya. Using NUKE for the final composite I applied atmosphere corrections and optical glows/flares and added the interactive shadows and reflections.
