At Anthill, visual effects and animation is priority, even if we have to use it in the most subtle way. When The Client told me about his desire to turn the song to a video with orphans, it immediately occurred to me that it'll be the best opportunity to create a simple fantasy world that children dream of especially orphans.
We shot with the Panasonic P2 cam in DV, due to budget which brought up a lot of keying challenges in Post. In Nigeria, people shoot on DV and it's terrible for chroma work, so over the years, we've had to develop in-house tools and techniques to handle the work. (talk about necessity being the mother of invention). We also have electric power problems here so that forces us to make smart decisions about modelling. the biggest challenge was moving to and from Zbrush to detail the elephant.
Modelling and animation were done in 3dmax, maya and Zbrush. mattepainting in photoshop and final compositing in Adobe After Effects. for editing, we used adobe Premiere pro due to the cool dynamic link feature.
hope u like it.
