Indoor world championship

[arvid]

I just completed a sponsorship billboard that air around the Indoor track and field World Championship broadcast on swedish television, featuring a guy jumping with a pole inside his downtown apartment (playing with the fact that it's an indoor championship). I supervised the shoot and did all the postproduction, including the 3D. All is shot against a mobile greenscreen, we filmed each bit of the run and jump and I stitched the bits together to make a seamless jump, I removed the pole on all frames by painting because the poles obviously didn't match between the different bits, and animated a new pole by roto in 3D. Sound was added in our new state-of-the-art soundstudio :D I had four and a half days, so that's what it took to make it all from shoot to mastertape.

Very nice and some solid hard work if you managed all this in 4 days. Does that include the building of the building's exterior?

Nicely done

Cheers :D Yep, nothing was done prior to the shoot, except some reference photos we took of city houses, I built most of the exterior in the first day

edit: Actually, I did everything except editing which was done by one of our editors together with the director.

Very cool, Arvid!

And all done within four days...wow...would take me four weeks of brainstorming just to figure out how to do it, without anything being done.

Anyway: I like the little detail of the lights going on in the neighbouring flat...is that voice complaining about something? :D

How about putting a wee little making-of into the case studies?

[arvid]

Yes, you are correct, the voice says something like "you have to stop doing that!" :D
I'll take a look at a little case study, might as well do it while I still have all elements on my disk :p

Jättekult! :p

Way to go!

This is the stuff I like: fine craftsmanship in the field of digital effects.

Great job Arvid. I'm impressed you got that done in 4 days. Where you the only one working on the shot?

[arvid]

Yep, all 3d and comp that is, it was edited while I was building 3D elements, after editing I put all of it together
