Thieves Well - shot in progress

No video on this one just yet, but soon. If you click on the image below, it'll come up larger and show the original footage set into the center and then a fake 3d environment of boxes laid in around it. Since this shot will track forward and then sink down to the box they're hauling up, it gets really tricky to match the geometry. The easiest way was to create haphazard piles of boxes that purposefully don't match the perspective of the live action boxes since there's no way to keep them perfectly aligned. As it is now, it's possible to look closely and see what's fake and what's not. That difference should be minimalized with the addition of foreground wires and lights that layer smoothly across both and take the emphasis off any seams. Later today, the shot gets rendered into motion to see how well it moves..
