Collaboration with Objectif 3D: Learning the Basics of 3D Integration
An Educational Collaboration with Objectif 3D Montpellier
Objectif 3D Montpellier is a leading school in the fields of 3D, animation, and visual effects. For several years, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with their students to support them in practical case study projects combining video capture, 3D integration, and special effects.
During our recent intervention, we ran a two-week workshop for second-year students, focused on green screen shooting and realistic 3D integration techniques. This project allowed them to understand production constraints and strengthen their teamworking skills.

Week 1: preparation and collaborative work
Pre-production work and definition of the AD
The first stage was dedicated to pre-production, where students were divided into groups, each tasked with designing a coherent art direction (AD) for their projects. Each group, made up of students from different specialties (compositors, modeler, texture artist, and FX artist), collaborated to define the following elements:
· The general artistic vision: The visual style and atmosphere of the videos.
· The roles of each: Integrated teamwork where each specialty contributes to a collective result.
· The shots to be produced: Three shots previously chosen with their teachers to structure the project.
This collective work allowed students to better understand production constraints and the importance of collaboration between different disciplines.
Introduction to equipment and initial tests
We then introduced the students to the handling of shooting equipment, allowing them to acquire the basic skills necessary for their projects:
· Camera: Capture settings, shot sizes, camera movements.
· Lighting: green screen lighting, lighting of the subjects to be filmed
· Shooting discipline: script and art direction
After this introduction, each group had the opportunity to handle the equipment, test configurations, and shoot their first scenes.
Creation of individual videos
Alongside the group project, each student had to produce an individual shot, corresponding to their specialty:
· Compositors worked on techniques like keying, 3D object integration, and plate cleaning.
· Modelers created 3D objects integrated into the shots taken on site.
· Texture artists applied realistic materials in collaboration with the modelers.
· FX artists simulated dynamic elements such as particles, smoke, or explosions, and then integrated them
This individual work allowed them to experiment with the basics of 3D integration while discovering the technical constraints related to their specialty.
Week 2 : shooting and project finalisation
The second week was entirely dedicated to carrying out the group projects. Each team, having completed their pre-production, moved on to filming their defined shots.
Collaborative Filming
Working in groups, the students shot their sequences respecting the art direction they had defined. This process enabled them:
· To coordinate their efforts to obtain cohesive shots.
· To test green screen video capture techniques under real-world conditions.
· To understand the interactions between disciplines, such as placing 3D objects according to lighting and perspective.
Additional time for individual videos
If time permitted, we used the remainder of the week to shoot other individual videos, allowing students to expand their stock of content for their showreels.
Educational goals and results
This intensive program aimed to:
· Teach the basics of 3D integration: By experimenting with real tools and technical constraints.
· Foster interdisciplinary collaboration: By encouraging students to understand and respect the needs of other specialties.
· Create content suitable for their portfolio: The videos produced reflected both their learning and their creativity.
At the end of the two weeks, each group leaves with their footage to work on the 3D integration. They then have one month to complete their project by applying the techniques they have learned. Their work will be assessed on the quality of the integration and the artistic coherence, thereby enhancing their professional portfolio.
In previous years, this same training has already borne fruit with ambitious projects. One past collaboration notably led some students to choose live action for their graduation project, resulting in the short film Rumble.
This project, combining live-action shooting and special effects, met with great success and was selected for several festivals. An enriching experience that continues to inspire new classes to further explore the possibilities offered by 3D integration and visual effects in their creations.
A Valuable Immersion into the World of 3D
This collaboration between Shogun Pictures and Objectif 3D immersed students in an environment close to professional industry conditions. By offering them a structured framework and concrete tools, we helped enrich their training and nurture their passion for 3D professions.
