America On the Move
Chicago Transit Authority
An exhibit showing a day in the life of 1957 Chicago. The museum had a 1957 Chicago Transit Authority subway train car restored to original condition. The project was to shoot actors in period clothing interacting within train as if they were traveling along the loop in Chicago. The live action was shot against green screen. I built a 3D version of the Chicago loop and the CTA train car. I animated the movement of the car behind the shot train driving from one to another station. Then composited live action against the 3D content. The film was then projected inside the train on a panel installed into the train to give the impression of being within the train, seeing the day unfold.
