Cosmoball is a feature film comprising over 2500 shots with computer graphics. Our team faced the challenge of creating complex visual effects while maintaining consistent quality across numerous sequences. It includes multiple CG characters and doubles, large-scale full-CG environments, and a lot of FX work.
