Anne-Sophie describes compositing as the crucial final step before delivering Astérix: The Secret of Magic Potion film.

The process begins with receiving images from the lighting department, where elements are handled separately: the background, characters, various props like the acorn, and visual effects such as smoke. Anne-Sophie emphasizes the importance of balancing these elements to enhance the clarity of each scene.

She illustrates her point by comparing a delivered image with its original version, highlighting that the viewer’s attention was distracted by background elements. By redirecting focus to the main character, the team enhances the visual impact, demonstrating their commitment to creating a cinematic experience that faithfully represents the world of Astérix.
