Shot Progression Number Three

This is the third shot taken from the trailer that we'll look at (we can look at some more complex shots once the film itself is online, but that won't be for a while).




We're looking at the first section of one of the longer dance shots. A you can see I shot reference for this again. Unlike the 0166 shot, I couldn't just roto the movement because the camera is at an angle and constantly moving.

TOP RIGHT: The original reference footage, where we have worked out the basic choreography and blocking of positions.
TOP LEFT: The 3D layout, with the camera match-moved from the reference footage (for the non-technical, this is means tracking the real-life camera to duplicate it's movement in virtual space), and the character positions roughed-in.
BOTTOM LEFT: Animation - here I've fleshed out the character movements, sticking very close to the reference in the case of the moon maiden, and doing something quite different for the astronaut. You can also see that I've enhanced the camera move.
BOTTOM RIGHT: Final composite.
