🧩 Project Overview
This Sci-Fi Alien Interrogation Scene combines live-action green screen footage with cinematic CGI environments to depict a high-tension interaction between a human and an alien. Designed as a short film sequence, the project leverages a hybrid pipeline across VFX, real-time rendering, and advanced compositing to achieve a studio-quality sci-fi look.
