Zookeeper

Project

For the release of the film Zookeeper, we we’re asked to integrate the characters into the well established TBS Breakroom environment. After the greenscreen shoot, the edit and visual effects pipeline was handled entirely in-house. We took care of everything from shot retiming and CG scene construction to color grading. The project was a lot of fun and it turned out really funny. Work breakdown at the bottom.
