I want to recreate the effect seen in the Instagram reel of a pink elephant strolling down a real street (link above). The end result must look fully grounded in the live-action plate—matched lighting, shadows, reflections, and believable interaction with the environment—so the creature feels as if it was actually filmed on location. Key points • Style: strictly realistic shading, texturing, and motion. • Camera: any angle that best sells the illusion; I’m not tied to first-, third-, or aerial perspectives. • Action: open brief—walking, interacting with objects, even light stunts are welcome as long as they stay plausible within the scene. Typical workflow tools might include Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, Houdini or similar for modeling/animation, and After Effects, Nuke or Fusion for match-move and compositing. Feel free to use whichever package you’re fastest in. Deliverables 1. A finished 10–15 sec 1080p (or higher) video file that seamlessly integrates the CG creature into supplied or self-shot street footage. 2. All project files—3D scene, textures, rigs, compositing setup—organised so I can review or tweak later. 3. Brief notes on the steps taken (software versions, key settings) to help me replicate the pipeline if needed. I’m easy on turnaround as long as the realism is rock-solid. Send a short message confirming which software you’ll use and, if possible, point me to one or two previous shots that prove you can nail this level of integration.
