Mailbox

What's about? I made this comp as training on rig removal and 2D element integration. The purpose was to remove the red mailbox and add some elements.

What did I do? Using camera projection I removed the mailbox covering it with parts of the background plate behind the mailbox (all of them visible in different frames). For the ground it was also used Mari bridge with Nuke to paint some zones never visible during the shot. Interesting was the fixing of details such as the railing and the windows reflection. The first was made by painting the zone over the old railing and mergin using deep comp and the second using the environment light and a specular geometry to reflect an image. Finally I integrated a wall poster starting by the image from the poster and another image for the wrinkles. Everything was completed with lens distortion, re-grain process and chromatic aberration.

What techniques did I use?

• Camera projection
• paint and reconstruction
• Deep
• 2D elements
