Old Friends: A Tribute to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
We all have beloved traditions - and for millions of families, watching the Macy's Parade on Thanksgiving morning is one of them. "Old Friends" is a heartwarming story that tells just that. It's about a young boy and his experience seeing our classic Santa balloon throughout 90 Macy's Parades.
I got a chance to work on lighting one of the shots where Santa flies away. Adjusting his subsurface scattering to match the scene scale change was a challenge but fun part of the process. MPC did did a fantastic breakdown of this spot.
