Power Ball Campaign from Nick Pitcavage on Vimeo.
I was specifically responsible for creating the 3d Power Ball, and tracking the ball into a real world environment. To accomplish this, I surveyed the shot locations to take basic measurements of the set. These measurements were a integral part of getting believable shadows, reflections and camera angles into the live footage.
During the surveying, I took a Dora-The-Explorer kick-ball to all locations and bounced it around. I later used that to inspire the animation of the Power Ball.
