Sesame Street:
In this video I was tasked to add lighting to the 3D render of the water fountain. First I created a loop-able render of the 3D render. Then I used Projection 3D to create a 3D shape to roughly match the structure of the fountain using solids. Then I used that comp to project lights onto it. This worked well for adding more realistic lights to the contour of the fountain. I even added some caustics to the lights being projected onto the sides of the fountain as if the lights were coming from under the water’s surface. Adding lights to the water was just simple masking of the water layer and setting the layers to ADD.
