Moen Deconstructed / Part 3 // Creating Reflections




Having learned from their tests, the team was ready to begin when they received the footage from the shoot.  To incorporate the running girl into the reflections of the faucet and the bowl in the clip above, the CG team needed to recreate the faucet and bowl geometry as the elements shot in camera had too many extraneous reflected images which distracted from the focus of the running girl in the shot.

After modeling and tracking the scene geometry, the team then projected several plates of the running girl onto the bowl and the faucet to control the appearance of the reflected images on the chrome geometry.  The team then rendered the reflections passes and delivered them to the S&M Flame team to composite and finesse into the final shot.  Check back tomorrow for more on the "infinity dress" shot from the 'Brushing Teeth' spot.
