Framestore’s photo-real commercial, as done for Barclays. Model footage was shot, then the CG environment built around it. Here’s the breakdown from their site.
“All the action takes the form of a bluescreen-filmed couple navigating a track, with the surrounding environment built entirely in CG.
Framestore’s brief was to build a photoreal CG environment that felt [...]
Animation – looks so good, but where to start? Then once you’re there, how to turn it to a work of art?

We, in South Africa, had our turn this past year to host the Soccer World Cup. Exciting, new and award winning stadiums right here at home. 2022 will be Qatar’s turn to host, and here are a few of their stadium concepts.
Animation and renderings done by a German based studio, HH Vision.
By now, I’m sure you’ve gone off to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1? You, me and a few other million fans. In between the all the familiar characters and effects we expected, was a beautiful animation piece, The Tale of Three Brothers.

Have a look at Uniform’s animation of the Hermitage Plaza scheme in Paris, France.
I love the creative way they’ve navigated and demarcated the development’s highlighted areas, and used the green screen for that extra touch. Great work. The space ship definitely added that extra bit of ‘cool’ for me!
This mixed-use tower development, once completed, is set [...]
Have a look at Ant Traffic Simulator if animating vehicles in animation is too time consuming. This traffic simulator, for 3DsMax, does automatic vehicle rigging, etc. Simple presets and ’shortcuts’ – have look at their list of features and demo videos. It might just be worth it?
Just fun watching really! The game of Pac-Man replaced by real people, and put together as a stop motion animation. It must have taken some time, but have a look at Guillaume Reymond’s video here.
The pixels and characters that move from seat to seat, decide on their own movements over a 4 to 6 hour [...]
I’m sure you’ll recognise the scene? From what I recall there was a still render floating around a while ago produced by Studio Aiko. Now there’s the fly-through, making of and, if you have 3D glasses – watch it in 3D too.
Be sure to read the notes under the videos – there are links to [...]
Watch this video! Really, watch it now!

We’ve watched and ‘wowed’ at many of Mir’s 3D works, but this is great. See more on their Facebook page.
