Gopher Golf: Compositing

Compositing is a key part to the production of my film - I'm producing the film in a unique style which combines 2D and 3D elements, so when editing the two together, I had to tweak the raw footage quite a lot in Adobe After Effects to make sure the 2D and 3D would work well together.

The Golfer was very tricky to blend in with the backgrounds, because the movement of the puppet is much faster. There were still patches of blue screen surrounding the Golfer that took more time to remove. The Gopher, in contrast, was a very limited puppet to work with. After Effects was also a useful tool for working on props which would have been more time consuming to animate in stop-motion, such as the golf ball going around the golf hole.
