Tech stack breakdown:

Landscape's done in Blender. 

- I used the Blender GIS plugin to pull down the satellite image + rough mesh

- I used the True Terrain Water plugin for the Ocean

- Scene lighting is done through the Physical Starlight and Atmosphere plugin

Once that 1290 frame animation was done rendering it was combined with another 1290 frame animation done in DAZ of the eagle in flight.

Once the two big animations were done, I moved over to After Effects.

- I took two sets of renders from the final frame of the landscape, one transparent (masking out the background), one without foreground objects (getting me just the background)

- Fireball's done in Trapcode Particular. 

- It also adds some stock explosions from Envato

- And finally compositing and combining it all.
