I experimented with this shot using Volumax Pro Projection maps. This program is used when making a hall appear 3D. Unfortunately the fact that the store shelves don’t rise up as far as the ceiling ended up causing distortions. I also discovered that if I have the scene cropped in Photoshop, I can not view the areas of the image that are hidden.
I wanted to zoom in slightly and pan up to see the baby monkey on top of the shelves. I did figure out how to get a 3 dimensional zoom but I could not angle the camera upwards. This image is of my second attempt at the scene. The master shot is causing things to turn black when all the layers are lines up. The fact that some of the monkeys are light blue means I haven’t added them to the scene yet.
This scene is less than a second long sop there really isn’t much time for a deep zoom effect anyway. When I got the camera animation working, I then decided to add hand drawn animation of the toilet paper fluttering. So with the re-starts and added animation the scene took a full day to produce. In the end it was worth it, but it goes by in a flash.
