Casterly Rock

This was one of my assignment for the DMP course from mattepaint.com which I decided to go an extra mile. The original purpose of this exercise was just to learn how to create a 2D Tracker and add a 3D Element in the plate. I finish doing a complete clean up and bring the whole shot back to the medieval era, for that I´ve removed all the existence of modern civilization from it, added a brand new tree line to serve as a defense from enemy invaders coming from the sea. Painted over the provided 3D Castle changing the towers, added a new texture and weathering to it. Changed the boats and added more rocks on the foreground and background. The waves that hit the rocks were animated in Nuke using noise, the flags on the castle were keyed out, changed color and retimed in Nuke, as well the whole lake clean up, to keep the water movement from the plate.
