Photographed Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand. Decided I wanted to do some masking and introduce a 3d Helicopter that would fly behind, in front of, and around the tower, and eventually straight towards the viewer. After applying a Sepia adjustment layer and masking out the photo background in Affinity Photo, moved both the photo and masked out tower layer into Blender. Imported 3d Helicopter into Blender scene. Animated in 5 scenes (5 separate projects) and imported all the rendered png frames back into Blender as a video project. Added Audio. Rendered off final video. The original male model I used for the Pilot was modelled by Paul Chen and downloaded from - https://free3d.com/3d-model/male-base-mesh-6682.html, I textured, added eyes, rigged & posed Pilot.

How I animated Helicopter in Blender and achieved allowing Helicopter to go behind tower.

New colour scheme and decals. Separated main rotor & tail rotor from body geometry and rigged. I did not model Helicopter.
