Game of Thrones (2015)

Director: David Nutter

Season 5 Ep 9: compositing, sequence environment technical direction for BG snow projections on hills, FG snow look development.

A panoramic matte painting element was projected from a single 3D camera across Lidar geometry representing all background hills. This automated the addition of more background snow across the entire sequence, instead of needing to handle it on a per-shot basis. Optically convincing integration of the fire in the plate photography was required to sell it.

In addition, a recipe for foreground swirling snow was layered across multiple shots with care taken that it was interactively illuminated by the photographed fire.
