Shot with our hawks on epic and scarlet down in SA right before christmas.. But don't judge the pictures from that, I estimate about 70% of the pixels are CG

Well spotted, that was one of the references

What was cool with this project was the we only had 40 extras and 1.5 soccer team and one night of shooting. And due to time restrains no green screen was used. So a lot of rotoscoping and a lot of crowd duplications, and CG crowd.

Love it. Nice job on all the rotoscoping. I like the artistic choice to also scale up the main player!

How did they rule this? Was it a "fowl ball"? :biggrinjester:

How did they rule this? Was it a "fowl ball"? :biggrinjester:

"In a freak accident on March 24, 2001, during the 7th inning of a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants, Johnson threw a fastball that struck and killed a dove. The bird swooped across the infield just as Johnson was releasing the ball. After being struck by the pitch, the bird landed dead amid a "sea of feathers." The official call was "no pitch."​

Ha, You are one of the first that mention his size. He is twice real sizes and in the swedish VO goes something like " the home team grows with the task" or something like it... at the same time as he is being scaled. but so far nobody that I showed the film has even seen that his big... So I guess we should have shot it differently or made him 3 times the size or such. But the creatives from the agency thinks it's crystal clear what happens in the second shot... but then again they made the storyboard so ofcourse they see it

Jupp it felt more then odd to tell the grip guys just to leave the green screen in the bag... but in retrospect that saved us a lot of time on set and we literary used every second we had to shoot between pouring rain and sunrise and if they would have been fiddling around with big greenscreen frames and shooting clean plates and such then no chance we would make it within the given time limits.

So no greescreen it was and a bit tighter shutter and off we went. works quite well, sometime it's nice to have it all in one pass, no ugly shadows from large screens, croma spill and so on.
