This workshop demonstrates a shot from a live-action fantasy short film that involves actors interacting with a CG character. We'll go through the process step-by step, revealing the concept, design, and pre-visualization of the shot. The presentation will focus on how to structure your action shot/sequence from a technical perspective to create the most impact and most believable interaction between your CG characters and live-action actors.
These tips and tricks will cover shot layout, action/stunt/fight choreography, motion-capture, roto and character animation, as well as a brief overview of the shot`s lighting and compositing challenges.
