The objective was to composite HUD display and keyboard elements that the hero is interacting with to complete the scene. All compositing/VFX was done inside Nuke X / Nuke Studio, and the graphics were created with After Effects and Photoshop. The film is about social media ruling everyones life, so I created and designed a life-sized interactive scroll wheel that I call, the "Smart Top". This was a fun opportunity and am looking forward to the next one!
