FXPHD – AFX231 – After Effects Sci-Fi Street Scene

This course, taught by Kirill Pleshakov, focuses on the compositing of a shot using assets delivered from the 3D department. The challenge is complicated by the cleanup of the environment with rapidly changing lighting as well as the need to make the environment hotter before the FX energy field can be merged with the plate.

After Effects projection mapping techniques are used to create the production quality set extension using rendered elements from 3D. Once the environment cleanup and tweaking is done, the elements are merged in the composite to get the final result.
