Anirniq - Short film I worked on

I was asked to complete 4 VFX shots for this short film, which required animation, lighting, rendering, tracking, and compositing. I used Softimage for my 3D package, and Nuke to composite.

My first shot is at 1:45 where the man falls through the ice. I had to model, animate, and composite the breaking ice shards into the plate

The next three shots are all in succession, beginning at 2:30. I posed, lit, rendered, tracked, and animated the narwhal into all three of the whale shots. Below are screen shots of the original plates, and the final film as seen on Youtube.
