THE CHALLENGE:
The participants will be tasked to do a DISINTEGRATION FX.
The FX shot might be done with live action, or completly digital, and it will
be either a completly original creation or a TRIBUTE of a sequence from a FILM (in the attached list)
If you choose the FX sequence has to approximate as much as possible the techniques from the films from the attached list. For example Imagine filming a phaser disintegration sequence from Star Trek, or a vampire exploding to dust like in the Blade films. Now it is your chance.
