Another production with Mighty Nice, working again as Lead Composite and Look Dev.
There was a big push on this one to feel that glorious morning sunlight coming in through the kitchen window.

I worked on the overall look development of the piece, the first 7 seconds, and the final 8 seconds.
In order to achieve a level of accuracy and detail in the transitions that would not be available purely with 2D, the team leaned into the 3D.
This was great, but did give me quite a few passes to keep track of. I also developed a few generative processes such as the dynamic shading and the hand drawn looking steam.
