Jesse created these shots starting in pre-production with concept art and storyboards and through to the final compositing. He built the weed heaven tree and scene layout in 3D, created textures in Photoshop, built and rendered all the 3D in Blender, and composited the final shots in After Effects.
Befores and afters
Some of the final shots
Look Development
Jesse developed the look of the weed heaven tree starting with sketches, then with rough 3D renders, and then fine tuned the specific final look responding to client feedback through the entire process.
Previz Storyboards
Jesse created a series of rough 3D storyboards during pre-production to help the director identify the angles and figure out how best to utilize the small square of practical plants on set and integrate them with the rest of the 3D scene.
