This was my first feature film with Aardman. I had worked at the company for 9 years but always worked on the short form and commercial projects. When they needed someone to oversee the digi-double build of the space ships used in the film they asked me to get involved. I worked with CG modellers and riggers and very closely with the art department at our feature production site. The CG asset had to take over mid shot from the one built on site so scans were taken and all the reference possible was captured. The ships also had hundreds of lights on them which all had to be replicated in CG and controlled through the rig by our CG animators. We only had 32 VFX shots in this film and where ever possible we would give ideas and solutions to keep everything in camera using the physical assets. Below is a breakdown of some of the processes used to add a CG spaceship to some of the shots.  Please contact me to request access.
