MasterChef, But Better
Dionysis Atzarakis / Digital Minds
2021

Another project for comedian Dionysis Atzarakis, this parody of hit reality TV show MasterChef required a complete virtual set, closely replicating the scale and details from the original show, alongside some motion graphics emulating the show's style. This project utilized on set supervision via remote video link, creating a live key of the virtual set using a quick Eevee render to allow for the director of photography to correctly light and frame the shots. The final show contained 262 VFX shots which were completed in just two weekends, using Blender, Nuke and some in-house software.
