Another Roger Federer film we where happy to do the VFX work for. Backplates from space and also from a paradise beach in Thailand. The aliens where partly “man in suit animatronics with moving eyebrows” and partly CG. Things like facial expressions and also the eyeballs where replaced with Cg eyeballs that we could animate under CG reflections.
