This Kærgården ad was shot on 100m2 of artificial park, built in a large bluescreen studio. On set, I was responsible for supervising matchmoving, HDRI chrome sphere photography, and making sure we shot references of the real bread on the Arri D20 in every take. These references were vital in the lighting and rendering process.

In post production, I acted as Lead in modelling, rigging and texturing of the bread. I was responsible for matchmoving using Syntheyes, animating the bread in all shots, HDRI lighting using the chrome sphere photos from the set, rendering out in the passes needed by our compositing artist, removing tracking markers with 3D patches whereever possible (the rest were painted out by the compositor), and working out technical issues such as integration with the grass.
