“Origin” is being made under the Irish Film Board’s Short Shorts scheme and will premiere on July 9th at the Galway Film Fleadh 2011.
For anybody of a technical mindset, James gave some details on the production -
“Origin has been produced primarily using Maya, Mental Ray while also relying heavily on its compositing pipeline. The streets of Dublin have been captured using a combination still photographs and HD Footage. This data was then treated with good old fashioned background painting and complimented with 3D models and environments. A large number of shots have been composited employing projection mapping techniques.”

James gave some details on the pipeline and techniques he used on the short film:
“‘Origin’ has been produced primarily using Maya and Mental Ray while also relying heavily on its compositing pipeline. the streets of Dublin have been captured using a combination of still photographs and HD footage. This data was then brought into Maya for 3D short setup. From this, templates were output and then painted with good old fashioned Photoshop background painting. The templates were then projected back onto the 3D models and environments. The shorts were then brought into compositing with a large number of shots composited employing projecting mapping techniques”.
