Driving Tiles Background
Rear projection was used to tackle the large number of driving shots with moving backgrounds. Beginning with a preliminary projection test with stock footage, a 3D mockup was made to explore a tile system. The landscape was split into 3 different sections of distances, which moved at different speeds to achieve a parallax effect. To be able to loop the tile footage, larger hill assets were made to cover the tiles to hide the loop seam. Mockups and digital tests were also done to experiment with using the same tiles for other shots.

Puppet Torsos
Initial 3D Mockup
The puppet's torsos were designed to be action figure-like halves that clamped down on either side of wires that came up from the pelvis. It was also made to have rig ports for the arms and neck to make them separable from the torso. This was done by molding and casting a whole torso, splitting it in half along a preplanned seam, and then molding each half again with precise armatures embedded inside.
