For 'Schneider vs Bax' we treated almost 300 shots, removing elements such as electricity poles, houses and distinctive flora from the landscape surrounding the main location of the film, the house of Bax. The result is an almost surreal reed landscape, that causes the focus to shift even more to the story and characters. The desolate setting is reminiscent of old western movies.
To achieve this result, the vfx team divided the natural environment in the film into the four compass points, and for each direction determined what the landscape should look like. A team of eight compositors then split into four groups, with each subgroup responsible for cleaning up the landscape from their paricular perspective.
We also worked on other scenes, such as the scene where Bax shoots a thumb of a hand.
