VFX shot I made for my Music Video using Footage, Blender, After Effects, and Resolve (no AI)

A VFX breakdown from my music video "The River, the Shore"!

This particular shot was a classic digital set extension. Most challenging aspect was matching the complex lighting environment, material palette, and the slight camera drift. Ended up replacing almost everything except for the wall and flooring.
