Nickelodeon + KCA Collaboration

This project was developed within the Compositing for 3D course at Ringling College of Art and Design, under the Department of Motion Design. It was an educational project and not affiliated with any official Nickelodeon broadcast.
Nickelodeon generously provided our class with original plate footage, stock images, and animated assets from the Original KCA 2020 Hero Spot. Our assignment was to recreate the composite as closely as possible, aiming for a 1:1 match.
My responsibilities included keying, rotoscoping, animation cleanup, camera tracking, match-moving, clean plate generation, color correction, color grading, and some rendering.

The animated assets were originally created by Nickelodeon artists:

Our work was reviewed and critiqued by Nickelodeon Animation Director Tim Lines and VFX Supervisor Ish Nazmi.
