.Truly a pleasure to work on this project, although I must confess it was very hard to deliver 12 cars in such extreme conditions, recreating the look of each particular film.

Approach

One of the most interesting parts of this project was the nature of the footage and trying to mimic the look. Not only was the format different on every shot, but also the film emulsion, so we came up with some simple tricks to make our lives and those of the compositors simpler.

Tracking was very tough, too, as you can imagine, we didn’t have any information whatsoever, but once again, 3DEqualizer was rock solid on the results and the search for the correct numbers.

The lunar one was especially funny as an animator.

The other interesting subject is that the compositing was done in the Los Angeles office while all the 3D was done in the London office, so we set up a conveyor belt approach to have all our material synchronised every 15 minutes, and thanks to the big fat pipe The Mill has to LA, we managed to do so.

Of course, that caused lots of little glitches, but a good pair of producers did the trick this time ;-)

Still, I really love this little one.
