Manipulation of Hapjeong Crossroad with the UFO sound effector reflecting both surrounding environment and barking of my dogs

At first embark on this weekly project, I had no idea it would take so many procedure, steps and tasking in the workflow between various softwares used such as AFTER EFFECTS CC, CINEMA 4D R15 and Photoshop CC among others. Believe it or not, my whole weekend including whole Friday had to be sacrificed to meet the end result.

Invasion of Hapjeong crossroad by an Alien Sound Effector Poly Reduction Object


Achieving the final goal was no easy task at all. To briefly list the types of skill set
showcased here....

1) barking dog sounds had to be recorded then modified into WAV.file format
    for C4D to be able to process it for the movement of sound effector object.
2) both photographs (about 20 shots)  and video had be shot at Hapjeong
    crossroad. Former for HDRI mapping source and latter for final composite
    video.
3) Camera Tracking had to be processed in After Effects CC. Then the tracking
    information had to be imported into C4D to adjust the camera while synchronizing
    the background with 3d modeled object, which here is the chrome colored
    mapped polygon reduction object. And also key framing animation had to be
    done in C4D.
4) After creating 3D model mapped with surrounding HDRI image reflection,
    global iluminance light along with ambient occlusion render set up had to be
    added for final render.
5) The final render made out in PNG sequence for composite in After Effects had
    to be Rotoscoped for adding depths and realism.



It started with recording the barking sound of my two dogs with an iPhone


360 degree shots had to be photographed and stitched up in Photoshop to be used as source image file for HDRI mapping

Camera Tracked data from After Effects was then imported in to Cinema 4D

Thank you all for getting through the bottom of this post. And here is a bonus
