A few weeks ago, I have finished the flower bloom animation effect, now I need to synthesise the environment in which the flower grows, as I didn’t shoot this shot on location but found an image to use as a background so I need to change the environment of it, I chose to use ps to help me do this.

The ground in this scene was too smooth and didn’t look like a soil environment for flowers to grow in, so I added brown soil with stones to this image

When I finished the background for the first shot, I had a discussion with manos. One of the ideas he offered me was to add an additional top-to-bottom shot in front of my shot, which would better illustrate the story.

So I’m still using ps and have filled this image so as to give the camera plenty of room to move!

In order to make the plants grow more realistically into the real environment, I will use the roto tool in nuke to add shadows to the soil and ground.

Additional Narrative Footage

I’ve been thinking about how to represent the fact that the world has been invaded by zombies, and in addition to a lot of ruins, I think I need to add some dated blood and handprints or patterns or something. Therefore, I downloaded the material from the internet for learning and imported it into nuke for compositing, and added the element of grass, which also symbolises the blossoming of life in no man’s land.
