A new commercial for Traveler’s Insurance shows hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny red umbrellas floating down from the sky to people around the world. Special mobile rigs were used to suspend a few real umbrellas, but the bulk of them were created in CG and added afterwards.
“Integrating the CG umbrellas into our pan and tilt plates, to make them match the practical umbrellas, presented us with some challenges, as there was a very limited field of sharp focus in the live-action plates,” Murphy said. Using Autodesk Flame’s toolset, a52’s VFX artists were able to address those visual challenges.
