The Art of Patron
As per Partron Tequila:
A pioneering spirit has always been at the heart of Patrón Tequila. From the first days to becoming the world's most popular ultra-premium tequila, that hasn't changed. Now, we're using virtual reality technology to bring you a 360 view inside Hacienda Patrón, where that spirit lives and breathes daily. Experience Patrón like never before – through the eyes of our iconic bee.
The above "Making Of" is courtesy of Bruno Ferrari, a fellow compositor on the spot.
Created at Firstborn.
A seamless 360 camera move between several different live action sets augmented with fully integrated cg assets. 10,000+ frames of stitched, tracked, retimed, cleaned (sort of), and comped VR love. The fantastic folks involved, staff and freelance, made what had at first seemed impossible a reality.
I joined the team as the Lead Nuke Compositor.
