Light Films Ltd

I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. I've tried various tricks and methods but I'm thrilled with how this one has turned out with a lot of help from and some of his great tutorials on his Patreon. So how did I do it? Ok so first I filmed one of my kids walking down a street, they weren't overly happy to be doing it but I begged and bribed them and finally, I had some footage of someone walking along next to a wall. I filmed it on my iPhone making sure that she was always covered by the back wall. I also made sure that the area I was filming in was overcast so I didn't have to deal with hard shadows. I've had to deal with that before and it's not fun. The next step was tracking it inside Blender which was very straightforward. That's something I never thought I'd say. Again VFX has really helped build my confidence up when it comes to tracking. Next, I rebuilt some of the geometry from the point cloud that the tracking produced and then projected the tracked footage back on the geometry. Once that was done it was time to start building the new environments. Due to adding/extending some of the brick elements I needed to do a roto layer to go on top of the new background and then to finish off I needed to render out the foreground beams. I then composited it in After Effects.
