The brief was to reflect the theme of the newly designed ballet, in which Clara, the main character, travels to the Land of Sweets. The focus was to create images of the various sugary delights that she encounters on her journey, and then place Clara at the centre of this sugar plum world. The challenge was to create renders which were life-like even though they are scaled in size. Myself and the team at Edit had meetings to agree the design of the scene and the composition of the overall piece. Matching the lighting in CGI, with the performer (dancer Swanice Luong) captured in photography, was particularly challenging but essential for the completed scene to look natural and realistic.
