This feature film was filmed in Denmark, Canada, Sweden, Norway, USA and Kenya (correct me if I'm wrong).
Therefore it also had a lot of VFX in it, and I both made some backgrounds for the Sweden set and matte paintings, art
direction for some of the matte shots and 2D textures for the air plane sequences. A lot of work. Morten Bartholdy made the
aeroplanes and Tine Nikali made the 3D clouds.
Part of matte for texturing landscape. Background for one of the aeroplane scenes.
Fame of the finished animation, pullback into the clouds. Plane is CGI and
the logo says IAAL in Russian (Short for: It's All About Love) See the
concept illustration
here.
The FX snow looked more like popcorn, so I painted a more realistic
version. If the couple were supposed to be dead, the snow would fill
theirs nostrils, ears etc, without melting. (Roll over to see the original)
Same problem with the snow as above. Animated matte with additional
CGI snow and aeroplane. (Mouse over to see plate).
