Wide Dynamic Range

This is an image I created for an invite to my son's first birthday party. I specifically photographed him with this overall shot in mind, being flexible mind you, that I am dealing with a toddler. I put in a new sky behind him and then added in the rocket that I created in 3D app modo.

Sure, it is hard to achieve, but just take a 3D app like Modo, some stock photos, Photoshop and a fair amount of tweaking and you get the image below. This is the background image for invite for an event at my company.

Another completed project combining live-action footage (the desert scene) and 3D elements (the cacti and 3D text) composited together in one explosive combination.

Electronic Desert -- Burnt Cacti from Peter von Elling on Vimeo.

This project was for a Cinema 4D and After Effects class as fxphd. The assignment was to compositing the 3D cacti with textures over the footage of the desert scene. Where I freelanced was adding in the explosions and dust debris to give it a little more "punch." I also added the text at the end since the piece seemed to call for it, like the explosions and twisting, flocking vortexes were leading up to something.
