The challenge

We joined the production for a set of demanding shots. The hardest were the burning house: fire composited into live plates with correct light, shadows and reflections.

The solution

VFX shots for Roddy Ricch’s “911”: a burning house that had to hold up in every reflection.

Our role

  1. Matchmove
