A snowy transition scene I made using a photo I took in Taiwan. The snow and branches are hand-painted with Photoshop. I composited the shot and added the snow particles in After Effects. The painting process took around a week to finish and the video editing took another day. The challenges I faced was expanding the layers that overlapped each other to make sure no gaps were seen during the camera movement.
