Barton Damer , Lead Artist and Founder of Alreadybeenchewed, takes us through a look at two different shoe campaigns his company has recently worked on, both utilizing camera projection techniques. The first being a set of commercials for Vans shoes' 50th anniversary utilizing anamorphic views for elaborate reveals. The second being with Nike for their Equality campaign where his team recreated head sculptures in 3D for Nike's athletes.

For the Vans shoe commercials, Barton demonstrates the camera and texturing techniques used to create the anamorphic effects. He goes through the setup and design process for both commercials showing the common techniques applied in both.

In the Nike Equality campaign, Barton and his team recreated 16 Nike athlete portraits within 48 hours using a base human head found in the Content Browser, the Sculpt tools, and Camera Projection. He uses Octane Renderer for real-time render results, to create a dynamic light mood on the original portrait that would not be achievable to do in 2D. Barton also shares his secrets for creating realistic facial textures using photoshop effects and layers.
