Marshmallow Man This started out in the spring 2006. I wanted to learn camera tracking, so I grabbed a camera from work, got out in the warm sun and started shooting. My plan was to have Marshmallow Man from the movie Ghostbusters walk through the main square in my hometown. However, I never finished it... Other things seemed more important at that time. It wasn't until the summer of 2007 that I opened the file again, cleared all the previous animation and started over again. I used Vray in 3ds max with full GI to render Marshmallow Man and composited him against the video footage in combustion. I added an ambient occlusion pass and manually masked the bus stop and obelisk-thingy. I also added motion blur, some grain, a touch of glow and color graded it. After combustion it was time to add a slight vingetting effect in Photoshop. Finally, I added the music from the video game Shadow of the Colossus in Premiere Pro. |
