VFX Rookies Submission 2022

The Goal

For this project, I was inspired by films such as Hero, House of Flying Daggers and more recently, Shang Chi, and wanted to focus on having an actor manipulate leaf assets using a live action plate.

This involved simulating the manipulation of the leaves and generation of magic wind element in Houdini, doing simple look development on the leaves (given motion/focus blur of elements) in Subtance Painter, and final compositing in Nuke.

The Breakdown

Notes

Development of this project continues to enhance elements in order to deliver a tighter, final product. Some have already been implemented but not rendered at this time.  This includes more leaves being manipulated in the air; the 'ball' tightening over time; and slightly reduced impact of magic wind on ground layer.

Any and all feedback is welcome!

Other Work

Look development
