## SAFFRONIC AND TRIOSCOPE’S RECENT COLLABORATION OPENS A NEW PARADIGM OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE WORLD OF CG

Saffronic, a CG production studio, has collaborated with Trioscope Studios to produce a short film that blends live action with CG elements, creating an immersive experience in a post-apocalyptic setting.

## BACKGROUND

Saffronic secured the project for the film "Mary Margaret Road Grader (MMRG)" through a rigorous test that demonstrated its ability to create a CG world using Trioscope’s proprietary SEE® tool. This film, driven by the creative vision of George R.R. Martin, unfolds a feminist narrative where Native Americans reclaim America in a post-apocalyptic world.

## THE PROCESS OF CREATING THE WORLD OF MMRG

**+ INPUTS**

The Saffronic VFX team initiated the project by cleaning footage shot against a blue screen using Chroma Keying, Rotoscoping, and Paint techniques. Meanwhile, the Asset Team constructed necessary props and sets, ensuring each vehicle designed for the storyline integrated seamlessly with the live action.

**+ STAGES OF PROCESSING**

Using Nuke to export live-action camera data and import it into Maya allowed the team to replicate accurate movements. The CG sets were built to scale, ensuring seamless integration with live-action characters. Crowd shots required innovative solutions to cut costs traditionally associated with large-scale crowd scenes.

**+ FINAL OUTLOOK**

Final compositing combined animated action with real-life components, including color correction and environmental integration, achieving a distinct comic-like aesthetic through the SEE® tool.

## THE TOOL OF UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES: SEE®

Designed for budget efficiency, the SEE® tool has enhanced the artistic capabilities of filmmakers. Its core concept provides stylized visuals that enrich storytelling.

## THE FUTURE OF SEE®

SEE® is set to integrate with diverse platforms, expanding its functionality to support generative AI tools and further stylization features, ultimately becoming a browser-based SaaS platform accessible to a wider audience.
