Its great to watch:

Shot 1:
Software: After Effects, Syntheyes, Blender
Role: Supervised filming. Decision made on-location to create digital dandelion spores. Match-moved the shot in Syntheyes. Modeled, simulated, lit, and rendered the dandelion petals in Blender. Composited the CG dandelion with the footage in After Effects.

Shot 2:
Software: After Effects, Blender
Role: Used the photo reference to model, animate, light, and render the water in Blender. Exported camera move to After effects. Positioned landscape elements in 3D space within After Effects and composited elements.

Shot 3:
Software: After Effects, Syntheyes, Blender, Photoshop
Role: Supervised filming. Match-moved the shot in Syntheyes. Modeled, textured, lit, and rendered the CG spaceship in Blender using the camera solve data. Created the planet and stars in Photoshop. Brought the elements into After Effects to composite.

Shot 4:
Software: Nuke, Syntheyes
Role: Supervised filming. Match-moved the footage in Syntheyes. Projected a rotoshape onto geometry of the window in Nuke to help key the window. Used various photos to assemble the city in Nuke’s 3D space. Simulated a depth of field with a blur and added city lights.

Shot 5:
Software: Nuke
Role: Supervised filming. Composited pixelated footage behind the door. Keyed the bluescreen, 2D tracked the footage to match the camera move. Had to manually roto the actor to increase his exposure due to the lack of light coming from the doorway.
