Planning the Planet (get it)

Hi guys it's me Santi,

So how exactly are we having a planet appear in the sky of our shot?

There are many ways for it to happen, but what I want to use is a mix of Blender and Adobe After Effects. I already have experience with both softwares, and I've made complex 3D environments before with Blender, and composited them with real footage in After Effects.

With past experience by making these, I'll be making a CG planet in "Blender", composited into real footage using "After Effects." For reference, I'll be looking at the 2011 film "Melancholia," which has similar visuals throughout it's film.

I'll be updating the blog as I begin designing the planet, see you then!

Until next time, Santi :)
