Project preparation (Landscape tracking and rotoscoping)
The Balloon Festival project focuses on creating and animating a series of balloons that will be integrated into a live-action landscape. The final outcome will involve modelling the balloons, animating their movement—such as floating, drifting, or subtle spinning—and compositing them naturally into the footage.
As preparation for this project, we worked on tracking and separating multiple mountain layers from aerial footage. This exercise helped build an understanding of depth, scale, and parallax within a real environment, which is essential when placing animated elements into a scene. By breaking the landscape into manageable layers, we established a strong foundation for integrating the balloons convincingly in the final composite.
