This weekend I went out and shot a plate to incorporate a CG character into.
The reference is All Quiet on the Western Front, I am planning on creating a miniature battle scene using green army men.
Proposal
I will be using the above video as the background for my animation. It will need to be camera tracked to integrate matte painted and CG elements.
The character will be rendered in Arnold, and any additional background elements will rendered in Unreal Engine.
For our character we will be repurposing a soldier model to use a toy green army man.
