I started a new project the last couple of week with some alumni and current students.
It's a short film (under 5 mins).
Here is the introduction by J.J. Abrams himself!
So the group and I are going for it. It's a super short amount of time (2 months) to complete an
animated short. Also there are different categories, Animated, Live Action, Comedy, etc.
We are well on our way I would say about a quarter of the way into production.
I will be handling VFX which is exciting and daunting at the same time. My group will be
relying on me to do my job in the time allotted (lucky i have the free time these days).
On the list are Blaster bolts, thruster ignitions/burners, dust trails and explosions.
Here are some tests!
Blaster Bolts can be animated by hand and made to look real good in After Effects
using multiple layers. However it's very time consuming. We maybe having many bolts coming from many points, so i thought i'd try to see if i could make it easier on us by creating a blaster bolt from a particle.
Here's what they look like rendered out.
Also there are many explosions from small to large scale in this short. Here are
some tests of what i've done so far.
Here's some rendered frames.
More to come!
