COMPUTER GRAPHIC EFFECTS ON REAL IMAGES We created this method in collaboration with Michel Gondry. It requires special lighting during the shooting, which makes it possible to analyze the image and create 3D volume. Using this volume, it is possible to recreate the lighting with computer-generated virtual lights.
