The Film
A modern fairy tale about a Tasmanian girl who became Crown Princess of Denmark. It’s quite a story – Tasmania, that sparsely populated island under Australia where I grew up, is about as far from European royalty as you can get. The contrast is what makes it such a popular tale in Australia.
My Role
I designed and animated the opening titles, plus handled all the VFX: clean-up, snow effects, screen composites, blue-screen travel shots, and creating CG planes for the airport scenes.
Workflow
I actually did much of the compositing work for this film in Fusion before switching to Nuke Studio. While I enjoyed Fusion, moving to Nuke opened up opportunities to work with bigger VFX houses. Sometimes I wish Blackmagic would give Nuke some real competition – a bit like how Macromedia once kept Adobe on their toes.
