Straight to the Biscuits worked with director Luke Logan to bring the end sequence of this music video to life. We were tasked with adding additional glowing bottles to the scenes, as well as painting out any rigs used to support any on set bottles. Using reference plates and in camera bottles, our team used nuke to paint out existing bottles in order to make them rise into the sky, as well as adding completely new bottles to the scene to help give it more life and depth.
We worked on approximately 12 shots in the end sequence, focusing mostly on the wide shots to add depth to the scenes. The hardest challenge in this project was tracking the plates due to sweeping motion of some of the shots, and the lack of tracking features at night, however by utilising mocha, nukes 3D camera tracker and alot of manual tracking - we were able to get some succesful results that got us where we needed to be.
