A selection of shots I worked on from DreamWorks Animation's 'Trolls World Tour' (2021). All fixes were done for stereo and mono alike (fixes done for left eye needed to match and be offset for the right eye). Some clips have been edited down from their original length.
BREAKDOWN:
1. Removed tangent far screen right; added and animated a solid shadow for Hickory. This required hand-animated roto shapes, the alpha for the character could not be used.
2. Added hair to SR Funk troll's neck and armpit area; this needed to be created, tracked, and graded accordingly, as well as adjusted for stereo.
3. Removed middle light beam from hill; it was missing in one eye, and a projection could not be used as the hill geo was stepped (not smooth as it appears) and the glitter was added in FX and not accounted for. Once the beam was removed, holes were filled and graded appropriately.
4. Adjusted lighting of characters, filled light leaks under feet to match cast shadows; additionally, made fixes to DOF and removed tangent with Poppy's hair where it is oddly lit and penetrating Branch's ear.
5. Cleaned edges around button when it is pressed, added shadow to new fix.
6. Removed artifact lines in Barb's eye caused by eyelashes.
7. Graded SL guitar pegs; this shot also needed the guitars shifted in stereo.
8. Filled light leaks under character feet, graded Poppy's hair when needed. Branch's hair also needed to be graded, as well as minor changes made to crowd characters.
9. Graded Branch and Poppy's hair to match in continuity, removed tangent in upper SR corner with hanging troll house and leaves below.
10. Removed IP of grass and leaves bottom SL to clean Biggie's leg, brightened Cooper's face beneath his hat, denoised hills, made fixes to DOF.
11. Matched atmospheric particle blur to previous shots, also made adjustments in stereo to push particles behind characters in screen depth.
12. Removed line on pot SR of frame.
13. Adjusted lighting on hill to match shot 3 (which was used as a guide for subsequent shots in the sequence); also made adjustments to stereo, grade, and DOF.
14. SL Rock troll (purple hair) needed her fishnet tights tracked onto her leg throughout.
15. Pots to the SR of Branch were off in stereo; needed to put left eye into the right, and offset for the right eye.
16. Brightened under Branch's chin and ear; this shot also required adjustments to the frame and image within (prior to the highlighted clip), as well as fixing penetration and light leak issued with Branch's thumb (after highlighted clip).
17. Extra eyebrow on Barb's SR eye removed, patch graded to match and tracked in. Paint fixes to her eyelashes also needed to be made to counter penetration of the lash geo with the eyelid geo.
18. SR bottom of raft needed grade and stereo adjustments to fix tangents and light leak; light leak SR of Hickory graded down.
19. Fixed DOF tangents with Barb's hair over the BG throughout shot; also made adjustments to environment to prevent further tangents. Added shadow beneath Barb's SR foot to make contact with ground, as well as beneath SR knee/leg after clip ends.
