I was approached by Nurture Digital agency from LA to participate in a video project promoting Sony’s new virtual reality glasses. Without hesitation I agreed and so our roughly two-month collaboration has begun.
The video was set in three stories, and I was involved in two from three.
The video was set in three stories, and I was involved in two from three.
The first story I worked on was set in the realm of cult Ghostbusters movie. The idea was that protagonists became part of Ghostbusters reality when they were wearing Sony AR glasses.
I was given footage and 3d models from the agency and my job was to 3d track the footage and put the characters as a part of a footage. To do so I needed also to rig the characters, animate and shade them. Additional task was to 3d track the hands of each protagonist from the footage so I could create a virtual lasso that was moving along with persons hands. After this was done, next, my job was to render all 3d assets and composite them with the footage.

Next, third, story I worked on was the virtual art gallery. As in first story my task was to 3d track the footage and place in it 3d assets which I also simulate, animate, shade, lighten and render, next, to composite them with the footage.

Montage of most of the scenes from Sony AR video
Unfortunately Nurture Digital didn't give the final video in a file. Instead they provided me with the Vimeo link to the final video. But, for some reasons, the video is no longer available online.
That is why I did a montage of the scenes I was working on for this video which I'm presenting to You bellow.
