a little heavier than you would expect that's better it's better to lean a little bit into that yeah and what we're looking at here in the background is the scaffolding actually there yeah everything's digital but because it's all on a mirrored surface it's reflecting the environment and if you notice the camera never once stays still in this entire sequence so the camera constantly moving means all those reflections had to be individually rendered and this one has about NUMBER_TOKEN shots in the sequence and so they're black uniform on a very dark night in a dark city the lighting and the billboard placement all needed to be meticulously done so that you could silhouette everything that's really really clever and also incredibly time consuming that's ridiculous and a lot of the time we actually were confused what direction the camera was facing you needed to know that you were looking at a building rather than looking through scaffolding at the city on the other side interesting and so we did a lot of work and actually trying to figure out how the reflection looked when you knew specifically when you were looking at the city versus the reflection you see all the reflections have a slight lift in their densities to help with the readability oh i see it's like all the black levels have been kind of just bumped slightly so even the darkest part of the reflection is still slightly brighter than the darkest part of the people in front of it correct but that obviously meant that we needed to split the reflection off from the main one so they needed to even more roto this is ridiculous complicated it's ridiculous but isn't it cool yeah it's amazing hey to all of y'all that have just stumbled upon vfx artist react for the first time consider subscribing you're gonna have a good time lots of other people have kept coming back i think you're gonna be one of them so i heard that you snuck a shot into this movie snuck a shot you snuck you snuck something in we always in visual effects try and sneak something in no i mean you know there's all this talk about sort of virtual camera work and all the technology that's coming along with mandalorian and there's a shot in this one particular one where i did a virtual camera work but it's so old school that it's amazing you can take old-fashioned techniques and just apply them right into the middle of something so complex
