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.
