This is the very first test compositing of the animated bull upon the live action background video. It both the animation team & movie director Paul King a chance to visualize how it would look & get a sense of whether the bull was the right scale in relation to actor Simon Farnaby.

You can see the bull has no shadow at this point. The shadow was achieved by taking the animated silhouette of the bull, turning it to lie flat across the ground & warping the shape depending on the direction of the source of light. The shadows hooves had to contact the bulls hooves when he was contacting the ground. This was a huge amount of work for our compositors Rob Ward & John Taylor who were in the room next door putting everything together as each new frame was taken! They did so many clever tweaks using After Effects to help the bull slot seamlessly into his environment. Some of the flaws in my animation they were also able to correct to save me losing precious time on set.
