Test Mutation with Text Module

Collaboration with Clemens is always an extraordinary journey. In this series, retouching combines CGI with fine art.

The concept was to have the look of a 2D collage, with fabric and other props produced in 3D and then combined with the figures which were shot in the studio.

As CG artists, normally we are purely concerned with getting an image as close to reality as possible. In this case, Clemens wanted a combination of photo-realism with perspectives that are just a little 'off', to give a surreal, disjointed feel. This is a fine line to walk in post-production, and an exciting challenge for us, with a huge amount of creative freedom and input.

The details of our renderings and lighting were very much an integral part of the artistic process.
