Good post, Amanda! I watched the trailer, and it looks interesting. From IMDB: In Whithren, a line of women pass a recurring dream through multiple generations. I found the title on Vudu / Fandango, so it's in my list to rent.

Wow, after reading over of all the processes Writer/Director Nicholas Ashe Bateman learned to pull off this film, I have got a lot of work ahead of me.

it’s an article from 2021, but the 2D After Effects and photoshop method he describes is what I continue to use.
Just yesterday I created a windowframe from scratch, then found appropriate stock footage of trees to put behind it. (This was to go in an office scene where on set they used a green-screen in place of a window.) Then I used Mocha in AE to track the camera movements (should have been locked down!) and applied that data to the new window.
Hardest pard of all this is pulling a convincing key around the actor’s fringey hair. Green-screen is harder to deal with than most people think.

An outdoor scene made indoors ??! Pretty amazing feat as well.
