  Tech Notes
  • Technicolor quickly ruled out using motion capture for this project and ragdoll physics couldn't give the director what was needed since the physics are impossible in this shot. Markus was called upon to take on this entire scene.

  • The 3D elements of this project were created entirely using Maya software. Markus built the teller and her accessories based on photos taken on-set during filming.

  • Markus created a simplified rig for the teller, suitable for controlling her as she tumbled through the air and bounced off of the cars.

  • Multiple plates of the background and vehicles were assembled in post to match the timing of the animation that Markus created
