The Wandering Earth - 20194 sequences - over 120 shotsAll shots were aligned to lidar scan. For three shots, I did an object track of a moving vehicle. The challenge here was the use of anamorphic lenses. For most of the shots lens distortion had to be animated due to the focus pulls/lens breathing.

Shadow - 20182 sequences - over 240 shotsThere were 2 sequences and three lidar scans, to which all shots were aligned. Lot of roto-animation was needed to replace fake blades on spears as well as umbrellas. Firstly I matchmoved the camera and aligned it to lidar. Then I roughly roto-animated a 3D character in the scene, to know approximate position of the actor. Afterwards I did the roto-animation for a given object. The challenge here was that rain was present in majority of the shots. Everything was wet which made most of the surfaces quite reflective and ground was in several shots completely covered under the water. Camera movement involved among others fast pans with heavy motion blur and lots of zooming.

The Terror - 201810 episodes - over 160 shotsFor most of the sequences, lidar scan was provided and camera was precisely aligned to it. Shots that had no lidar available were aligned manually together. For several shots I generated low-poly geometry to be used in Nuke for projections.Majority of the shots took place on a snowy ground, which made it challenging to find suitable and usable survey points. The most difficult sequence was series of shots, where sailors played football on an ice-field. These shots were mostly shot with steadicam traveling between the sailors and involved heavy motion-blur. Another challenge were nearly 2000 frame long steadicam shots, where camera changed direction several times and rotated along Y axis more than 900 degrees.Knightfall - 20176 episodes - over 40 shotsAll cathedral or castle shots were aligned to lidar scan. Remaining shots, exterior shots in forest and aerial shots, were aligned manually to avoid any continuity errors . For some of them I generated low poly mesh to be used in Nuke for projections, mainly for snow on the ground. There were few shots that involved roto-animation of various blades, spears or arrows.
