I’m working on a ‘theatrical’ short for the ODA, its supposed to be set on the Olympic site. But as its a nightmare of red tape to film there (even though the Olympics are the client!!), and the project budget is tiny, I decided to shoot the action in the green screen studio and comp the backgrounds together from a day of location stills.

So after the location shoot, here are a few tests using Vanishing Point in photoshop and a few other AE tricks to create the backgrounds. Its interesting how ramping up the DOF makes it look like a model shot!

Please excuse the crap keying and dodgy perspective of the caricatures, I nicked them from a project i did ages ago to act as place holders…

One of many old Diesel engines and bits in the pump house at Purston. Need to go back in better light to shoot the others.
