Process

 

I mainly focused on 2 moments from the film: the gold cloth curtain and the moon wipe. For the gold curtain David Rowley built the initial setup and I took over from him and reworked the scatter reveal setup - utilizing MOPs in order to get the level of control that the client was looking for. This setup was then brought into C4D and lit / rendered using our spherical rendering setup. The moon wipe was a fairly straightforward light sweep that was spherically rendered and then used to drive a reveal mask in comp.
