This screenshot shows a quick test render inside Maya, there is still a lot more to do but this is my first time doing this kind of work.

This screenshot shows moon with the trolly and shadows to help it look more integrated into the video. To get the lighting right i have used image base lighting with a panoramic and then used a directional light to cast shadows.

This screenshot shows a renderpass of the shadow on the floor which i will composite it inside after effects.

This screenshot shows the renderpass of the shadow on the character which will be composited inside of after effects with all of the renderpasses rendered from Maya.

This shot shows a test render of the trolly inside of Maya with shadows to help make it look more realistic. I do a lot of test renders to help me get an idea of what it will look like once i have finished the animation and rendered it out.

To help light our scene we used Image Based Lighting which uses an image to light the scene. When we was out shooting our videos we took panoramic shoots and later we stitched all the images together inside photoshop.
