This video takes a different approach, here we decided to record the full process or exploration and troubleshooting so you can gain an insight to how a professional matte painter problem solves a visual issue in the artwork.

The video covers 2 main techniques for creating reflections: the first is the more typical approach, flipping a layer and distorting, masking and grading the image to look like a reflection that matches the environment.

The second half looks at a special technique using a distortion map in photoshop, this will make your reflections look far more realistic, but it requires a bit of trial and error.

• The process of relighting images is pretty straight forward but it requires some understanding of form and light as well as a lot of patience. In this series, Jeevan takes us through all the stages of relighting an image from a keylight.
• First, we'll plan our steps and prepare the image by creating a mask of the main shadowed elements. In the second part, Jeevan goes through how to construct an accurate shadow pass using the halfway to black technique. Lastly we create an occlusion pass, fix up any areas of issue and add some final touches!
