2018 FIFA World Cup Drone Film

This spot has been a massive creative journey within a small but strong team.. I had the opportunity to help design the drone shells which then I modeled, textured and look dev. with various looks to differentiate the age and condition of the drones, along with lighting and rendering shots. I also did textures and look dev on the crowd, UV'd and textured the stadium.
I was also involved in creating some pipeline tools to make it easier and faster to set up shots to render in Houdini, Arnold. I used Substance Painter and Mari to create textures. ZBrush for concepting/designing. Maya for modeling/UV.
The hero drone shell was 3D printed by Legacy Effects and used in some shots practically.
Work was done at Blacksmith.
Here are some 4K stills and my favorite shots from the spot. Eventually i will get into doing some shot breakdowns/behind the scenes as well!
