Selected breakdowns
Drag to compare
Where a shot becomes one image.
Compositing is the last step of visual effects. Live-action plates, CG renders, matte paintings and simulations are combined into a single frame and matched for lens, light, colour, grain and motion until nothing gives the seams away. Jeremy has done that work since 2007, often leading sequences and developing their look.
