The Cone of Silence scene required a 3d object placed over the actors as well as interacted with towards several shots during the end.

During the footage shots in which the camera actually panned, I was required to track the shots as well as build proxy objects for reflections to bounce off of. I Then built the base model with a simple rig to be used in following the basic movement of the actors within the shot.

Towards the end one of the cones actually begins to constrict around a character requiring match moved animation that mimiced those of the entrapped actor. This was split up amongst several artists including myself. In the end all layers were given to our compositing department for the final look that appeared in the film.
