For this project I wanted to push I bit more my skills. Created the whole scene in blender with Astronova Pack (Big Medium Small), for the characters animation I used quick preset from Mixamo that was exported into blender. The whole compositing was later made in Nuke adding: lens effects, camera effect, matte painting for the sky, color correct, matte painting for the space shuttle texture and stock footage for the fire, smoke and sparks.
