This project was a blast ! I took as a chalange to do 36 Shots in a week. I had to do the online preparation and conform for color grading and exported all the shots in ProRes 4444 with keyed alpha that could be used for grading only the character and change the background darkness.
Keying
The keying process was mostly done wit manual rotos and different luma keys for different part of the image. Most of the shots contain 2-3 hair keyers and sometimes a reflexion keyer to keep semi-transparency.
Compositing
All the shots where 3D tracked in case of a reconstruction and were all handed in ArriLogC colorspace. The pool was removed and markers had to be painted out of the hair and transparent jacket.
