One of the sky replacements. The director wanted to show Andersens inner universe. Here on his way to his friends grave.
Helsingør, 1826, the day after Christmas. I found a map of Helsingore from 1800-something - close enough :). I scanned it into 3D MAX and
build a mock up, placed the camera in an angle and distance that would be realistic in 1826. I rendered CGI water, foreground 3D snow dune,
smoke elements, and clouds drifting. A very nice adventure shot with a little zoom. But it never made it into the movie.
