DEATH IN THE ICE

We were approached by Blast to put together a trailer for the National Maritime Museum exhibition about the explorer John Franklin, called ‘Death in the Ice’. The footage had already been shot against green screen by David Ellis, as part of the photography for the posters. It was up to us to put together the final trailer, creating a realistic arctic scene and compositing the Franklin character into it. This involved camera tracking, extending the track into a virtual camera, various particle systems and 3D elements, to create the final effect (as you can see in the compositing breakdown below).

The trailer has also been used to promote the exhibition in Canada.
