Hello members of CGSociety!
This is a project I worked on with a colleague at Pixel Farm (http://pixelfarm.com), Eric Schulist (http://eschulist.com). The goal was to demonstrate visual effects integration into a live action plate rather than an in-depth story. We kept it to a simple shot, mostly for us to learn more once we have to tackle bigger projects down the road. And also to have fun!
We worked on it off and on since January whenever we had free time. I would guess the work hours total close to 3 months.
I was responsible for the modeling, animation, some simulation, and dust/plasma particle effects. It was entered and shown at Minnesota's Electronic Theater 2008. The main programs used were Maya, Realflow, and Shake.
Here's a screengrab, followed by links to the movie and making of.
