Color Correction

All the shots almost involve color correction as they are shots from 5 different cameras at 3 different locations and on different days, to make them seems to blend together and cut seamlessly.

A typical day for night shot.

For greenscreen, 5K footage from RED camera gives more flexiblity to re-frame in post. A single shot can be used to cut between wide and closeup, reducing the number of shoots and thus saving production time by half.

As the wind is blowing the female talents, the shot was captured in 120fps, otherwise all the motion of the fabric and hair will be too fast. The framerate for all other actors were shot with normal rates, which makes her standout in front of the crowd.

Compositing

Here are some of the passes used to render the final shots.

Motion Vector pass

 

Ambient Occlusion pass

 

CG Smoke

 

CG Particles

 

The original plate was shot on a moving car at 60km/h with a shutter speed of 1/50 which does not gives a nice motion blur. However, that's the speed limit in Singapore, so can't do much.

 

 

 

The footage was sped up 400% so it's equivalent to about 240km/h footage and with added motion blur, it's pretty much looks like shot on a high speed vehicle.

 



And here's the final composite. An animated HDRI was used for the environment lights to gives the moving reflection on the car surface.

Similar techniques were used for other shots.

 

Texturing, Lighting and Rendering

After layout, proceeded to texture, light and render of the F1 car.

Normal maps were use on the tires instead of bump maps.

And here's the test render.

As all the renders are working fine, proceed to light and composite the final render.
