During the first semester of my final year, I completed a research project about combining CG and live action elements in a way that tricks the audience into believing it’s real.
For this project, I chose to create a zombie model in Blender and composite into different shots that I filmed around the university. For each shot, I created 360° HDRIs to ensure the lighting matched between the CG and live action footage, composited everything in Nuke and colour graded in Davinci Resolve
This project was very difficult and definitely out of my comfort zone, but I learned a lot from it and some of the shots turned out pretty well.
