Peripheral

Bill Kenwright Films

In this dark, psychological film, an author works with a new intelligent word processing computer that starts to take over.

For this project we had a short amount of time to work on over 150 visual effects shots. We animated the screen and keyboard into the shots, tracking moving cameras, masking around foreground actors and objects and removing tracking markers, as well as creating numerous other effects, set extensions and shot repairs – including replacing a poster on the wall for a large number of shots.

A handful of before and after shots are included in the clip below.
