The final delivered 3D Background render I did for the Blue-ray/DVD re-release for the film, State Fair.
Here is the comp layout with bleed added for my background alignment in camera
Project Review
3D Illustration for Blue-Ray packaging for State Fair 60th anniversary edition 2009
Client: Menagerie Creative.
Creative Director: Cheryl Savala.
Project Date: November 2009.
I
was asked to help create a background image for the 60th anniversary edition of Rogers and Hammerstein's classic film,State Fair for Menagerie Creative back in 2009, a regular client of mine, and today I cover the build I did for this fun and fast turn over Home Entertainment gig.
As a 3D artist I do a lot of poster work 3D Illustration ,and over half my work are for the 3D logos I provide, but the rest are these 3D backgrounds, where the photography does not exist, or is just too difficult to access, so they call me to make it from scratch.
I was not given much scrap reference when I began the gig, but it was a straight forward build to create a 3D State Fair background image to be used behind the colorized images for the cover key art of the main characters, so off I went.
I researched old Ferris wheel designs, and Circus tent looks for the era, and I then built out the detailed versions as seen above. I also built out some 3D confetti to add in on a layer.
After I hand built the assets, textured them up, and set it up to go, I rendered the shot out and delivered to the client as a layered PSD file with alpha channels and Z-Depth channels.
The shot never went to finish, however as with all 3D work it was a fun process with a great client.
