Direction, art direction, VFX and compositing

A real actor, shot on green screen, inside a world that doesn't exist. This one answers the practical question a production actually asks: does any of this integrate with the footage we shoot?

01 The question

Does it hold up next to real footage?

An actor in a white suit, a green stage, and an entire spacecraft built around him. If the perspective, the light and the atmosphere don't marry, the shot dies — and no amount of beautiful generated imagery saves it.

02 Architecture

The ship is designed before it's beautiful

Where the windows sit, where the corridor leads, what you see outside. Without that plan the space falls apart at the first cut.

03 The shot

The real inside the built

Chroma extraction, light and atmosphere integration, matched perspective.

04 Breakdown

Everything that happened in between

Raw plate on one side, final shot on the other.

Breakdown — raw × final

Everything around him was built from scratch. The astronaut is the only real thing.
