  • Rotoscoped the little girl's blonde hair to manually separate them from the green screen reflection.

  • Chroma keyed the green screen from the foreground and midground footage and furthered removed green screen from the miniature aircraft.

  • 2D tracked the movement of the camera with the background and foreground actors.

  • Color corrected the little girl’s blonde hair and the miniature plane to match the footage. Re-applied grain to match both footage.

  • Composited all layers (background, actors, miniature plane, and effects) seamlessly together.

  • Rendered the shots in frame sequences and send off files to editorial team.
