Took several shots from start to finish on the compositing. This also included lighting, rendering and texture work on a 3D bridge. Animation on CG body doubles for Stallone and Gibson, as well as lighting and rendering on the characters. It included creating 3D matte paintings for the finished composite, as well as all the final compositing elements for the bridge sequence shots. I also did several blue screen keys and composites on a number of shots in a driving sequence and a bar fight sequence. Most of the work was done in Nuke, but some of it was also done in Maya and photoshop. One of the shots was deemed the hardest shot in the show, and was called untrackable. I had to hand match-move the camera for a zoom lens changing focus, hand held from a helicopter passing through smoke. It was a challenge.
