In the film Gravity, Dr. Ryan Stone is the sole survivor of a space debris avalanche. As she tries to make her way back to Earth under extreme physical conditions, she begins to hallucinate and starts to relive what life was like back on Earth. By using the framing device of a shift in reality, Ryan travels back to memories of grief after losing her daughter. Through this brief flashback, Ryan now has the determination and strength to keep moving forward.

Process

3D was used as the base layer for this sequence, using a toon shader to create a 2D look inside of 3D. Then in Photoshop, we painted all of the foreground objects on top of the renderings to create a bit of a foreground-background separation while also having the entire frame work together.
