Behind the scenes of " Lion Rock 獅子山上"
CGI | Digital Compositing | Film Post Production
Introduction:
We are glad to be invited by Wewah CGI Production House and worked together on this challenging project. “Lion Rock” is a film about mountain climbing. Considering the difficulties of shooting the magnificent mountainous scenes on the spot, our task is to compose virtual scenes using digital compositing. Our production has involved using a lot of chroma keying to visualise the cliffy and tough mountain-climbing scenes. This is indeed a complicated task, but, thanks to our professional and dedicated team, we are happy that we have completed the work smoothly and the quality of this behind-the-scenes video looks as if it is a dramatic movie. Big thanks again to everyone who has supported this production and has helped us make something from impossible to possible.

Digital composition is one of the most proficient skills by Stir. We use high-end image composition software “The Foundry Nuke” to produce all images in this video. The video is produced based on 32-bit linear workflow, and we also ensure no image data lost during compositing process. We have used a number of techniques to make the images look as visually similar to the real objects and scenarios as possible, including edge blending, light adjustment, colour de-spill, camera mapping, set extension, and many more. On the other hand, we have also used rotoscope to remove the background in some film sequences. We are pleased that eventually we have completed the work perfectly and delivered on schedule.
