First steps on the Thieves' well

This isn't the most elegant cg move, but I post this for the interest of whoever wants to see how these matchmoves start and get refined. I've added the first couple of boxes to the bottom edge of the well to see how well they match the perspective of the live action shot. Turned out surprisingly well considering it was done by eye looking back and forth between a reference photo and the 3d enivronment. Now it's a question of matching the lighting closer, removing the gaps between some of the fake boxes that appear to slightly float and also rework the right side to be more of a dark confusion of boxes and packing materials. Once a whole lot of extra power cords get layered over the entire scene, it should mask the edge of the seam much better..
