This is my first post here at VFX talk, Been browsing it for a while and learnt a lot from it.
I’m currently at University and am working on visual effects for a friends graduation film. The film is about two people on the way to mars and they run into problems meaning one of them has to sacrifice themselves in order to complete the mission.
We have already shot all the interior spaceship shots in a studio, all that is left is to shoot a miniature against a greenscreen. This will be keyed out so the ship appears to be floating and rotating through space.
Does anyone have any tips and tricks for shooting the miniatures. I’m hoping to add reflections, lights, dirt etc.. onto the miniature in post. I have been watching ‘Moon’ behind the scenes and its incredible how much they improve upon their miniatures in post production.
Is their anything I should set up on the space ship when we shoot them, tracking markers etc.. Should I shoot it with a locked off camera. It was suggested that I build a CG version of the ship to map reflections onto the miniature.. Would be great to hear some tips and workflow ideas,
Thank you
James
