Hello All,
I need to create a shot in my film and I'm not sure how to achieve this. (This all happens in the rain outside) the main character sets a suit case down , just as he sets the suitcase down a large worm rises up behind him , slowly the character turns around in fear. This is all one shot. What I'm not sure about is how I should shot the video and what part should be shot separate or together, to achieve the best results. I have access to a green screen if needed, I have tracking software, and I know how to model and rig the worm. I did some research and below is the process I think I should follow. I'm also not sure what small details and such I should be sure to pay attention to. I’d like to get a few advanced composters views on how I should go about completing this shot. Any help even tips or tuortials would be greatly appreciated.
The second question is how much more work would it be to have the worm bite half of him off , leaveing his legs standing there bleeding. What would change in my process if I wanted to complete the shot like that?
1. Shoot a video without character (keep track of were the camera is located, take measurements)
2. Shoot HDRI image for lighting worm in 3D space
3.Shoot green screen shot of main character going through the actions from the same angle
4.Model, light and rig CG Worm
5.Compsite three together in after effects
thanks,
Chris
