| Lighting The Pool |
| The light is mainly coming from outside the building. |
| There were few extra Lights inside the building. |
| Some, inside the pool in order to simulate the green bouncing light coming from the water. |
| Some other in order to properly exposed the Giraffes. |
| CG Lighting/compositing Workflow |
| We had to work on 65 shots. Because this was a stereovision movie(each pass had to be rendered twice) and |
| because we were a small team, 2 lighters+precompo, 1 nuke composer(maybe two later on), 1 TD, the workflow |
| had to be kept as simple as possible. Basicaly, the final image quality including camera FX such as motion blur and defocus |
| will be achieved directly out from Arnold, despite the heavy rendering time. Arnold is best for that. |
| Lighters have to focus on lighting! That is my point of view. |
| We couldn't afford to output lots of AOVs in order to do some part of the lighting or relighting in comp. |
| The nuke compositing will be mostly color correction, exept for the few shots with water FX. |
