What!?! This is amazing. Question, were the characters in the final shot CG. I noticed you showed a wireframe around them, but I didn't understand why they were CG in that shot unless you did it to get that camera movement. This is an outstanding, breakthrough work! Unbelieveable!
Marc-André Gray 2 years ago

You will notice that there are a few stills that show up at the start of the shot in the making. Theses are stitched from still photography taken on set to create a large texture plate. The eyes and hair are video plates that are stitched into that texture. The textures are applied to meshes to create the camera move as well as help with adding lighting changes and facial animation (mesh morph targets).
