Render Pass
Background
Color Ramp
I made a color ramp shader for the exterior. The shader will affect by the light in the scene. For the film, we use white and yellow as the brightest color and green as the darkest color.
Grease Pencil
We also used grease pencil on top of 3D space to add more details.
Render pass overlap
The background rendered in both Eevee and Cycles.
Eevee rendered the base color, lighting.
Cycles rendered the overexposed lighting.
