Approach

The challenge

A practical set with a hard physical edge, a moving crane shot, and a brief that required vertigo.

Creative direction

Keep the performance and the light entirely real; build everything past the parapet.

Production approach

Matchmoved plate, CG city build with atmospheric depth, full matte-painted sky, and cleanup of every rig and safety element in frame.

Breakdown

  • CG

    Procedural city generated to the plate horizon with hand-placed hero blocks.

  • Comp

    Atmospheric perspective, practical lens flare reconstruction, full rig and harness cleanup.
