On Blueback, an Australian drama inspired by Tim Winton’s novel, I was responsible for a range of 3D and compositing tasks across the VFX shots. A key aspect of my work was bringing the grouper, ‘Blueback,’ to life. I tracked, rendered, and composited CG eyes onto the animatronic fish, giving it a more lifelike appearance. In addition, I tracked and integrated reef footage into bluescreen shots, blending them with live-action footage to make it appear as if the scenes were filmed directly in the bay.
