I chose to recreate this shot from the movie Get Out because it had similar setting and character expression. Working inside of Maya I did lighting and render setup, which included separate render passes for the background, couch, and character. Adjustments for the final composite, such as colour correction, vignette, and eye dings, were done using Photoshop. Background props were modeled by myself in Maya, the original character scene was created by Kislay Kumari.
