Publix - Super Bowl Sailgating
An excellent example of using stock 3d assets to solve a complicated logistical problem with location photography. Concept is to feature a lifestyle photography scene of Super Bowl party goers on a boat enjoying the game with plenty of the sponsors products. Setting up the shot on location was too costly, so we entertained the idea of renting a boat and brining it into the studio for the shoot. But when comparing cost and creative flexibility to using a stock 3d asset for the boat and compositing with lifestyle photography, aquiring a physical boat just didn't make sense. Below are some behind the scenes photos of how this shot came together from original client comp, to photography and asset creation.

Lighting Test
The composite image above was assembled prior to our talent shoot in studio and was used as a guide for our photographer in setting up lighting to match the scene and also for composition. Note: the guy standing at the front of the boat in gray shorts and t-shirt is a 3D model (not human) and placed as a lighting stand-in.
