This Bumper aimed to capture the vibrant essence of a Japanese alleyway, brought to life with the electric buzz of a Rooster Teeth neon sign. Embracing the challenge of a confined space, I chose a fisheye lens effect to give the scene an expansive feel, emphasizing the bustling atmosphere of the narrow urban setting. I crafted the neon sign from the ground up, focusing on a high level of detail—from the wires intricately running through it to the precise nuts and bolts and mounting system securing it to the wall.
The backdrop was created using a mix of combining photogrammetry scans and exterior details such as window frames and exterior elements, providing a realistic and immersive canvas. Upon this, I created additional glowing neon signage, enhancing the depth and authenticity of the alleyway.
Populating the scene, I developed various characters in DAZ 3D, each with motion captured walking animations. Utilizing Octane Scatter, I placed these figures throughout the alley on a invisible moving plane along the street.
