Tim and Bash -- Behind the Scenes

This popular series of a firefighter and his pet dragon are remaking their pipeline with Jetset. In this video, Andy Bash uses Jetset to import a scan of the location along with a CG dragon animated in Maya to plan the shot sequences!

Tim and Bash is a great example of using Jetset for a production planning stage (with an imported scan and an animated dragon from Maya), and later for on-location principal photography.

They are able to go to a location, scan it quickly with an iPhone, then bring back the correctly scaled scan. They animated the dragon in Maya to jump on all the furniture, and then can block out all of their camera angles with a 1:1 match between their virtual background and the actual dimensions of the live action shooting environment.

Later, they will take Jetset Cine into the production environment, but just import the animated dragon; he’ll then bounce across the (real) environment just as they planned it, and the operator will be able to see and react to Bash’s rapid motions instead of guessing.

It’s fantastic to see all the animated character interactions!
