Orbitz - Majesty

Work Info:

Agency: Under NDA

Tools: Maya, Nuke, After Effects

DESCRIPTION:

This piece was designed as an adventurous alternative to the more jovial tone of Orbitz primary market competition. 'Majesty' explores the journey and discovery of travel. It is a proof of concept both artistically and technically. Artistically, it was an endeavor to mix cgi with live action plates, but at the same time it was a technical trial run at tracking imagery into plates that already had image stabilization warping 'baked' into the footage--a technical hurdle that is becoming more common place.

How successful was the tracking? Judge for yourself; as a whole I think the piece is effective; however, I see plenty of room for improvement. The next step will be to attempt to subtract the approximate camera track from the pixel motion vector and then re-apply that to the cg afterwords.
