You Don't Mess With The Zohan

The Orphanage, for Columbia Pictures
My Role:

• For the contortion shot at the end of this clip, I attached the DJ actor's head onto a professional contortionist's body. To do this, I:
◦ 3D motion-tracked the DJ actor's head in a separate plate of him.
◦ Attached 3D head geometry and a camera, to the motion-tracked head.
◦ Projected the DJ actor plate onto the geometry.
◦ Captured the projected footage from the attached camera.
◦ Motion-tracked the contortionist's head in the main shot plate.
◦ Attached the same geometry and camera to the tracked contortionist's head in the main plate.
◦ Projected the previously captured DJ actor's head footage onto geometry in the main plate.
◦ Captured the result from the main plate shot camera.
