BIG 180

Filmed on a real rollercoaster in Vancouver, the ENTIRE background had to be replaced to simulate a higher coaster and get rid of the lighting rigs. Tedious rotoscoping was done to seperatte the live plate for the CG elements.

Same situation here. The rollercoaster did not seem scary enough so only the cars were kept from the original plate. Using roto, they were put back on a full CG rollercoaster - cityscape backdrop
