ARTIST: sheepfilms
WIP THREAD: FXWars! DISINTEGRATION!: Sheepfilms, Laser Attacks!, Mars Attacks!
I’m entering this competition with a hommage to the wonderful Mars Attacks! style of disintigration. I propose a little sequence to build up the effect as the original film did. All right, I won’t quite have the President of the USA, an old folk’s home or some white trash in there, but you get the idea. I’m disintigrating myself

To replicate the effect I’ll need:

A laser beam (done in After Effects)
A CG model of myself to emit the fire(Maya for model and particles, will make this myself based on the Maya scene in this thread, thanks Maxts!)
A skeleton (Maya again, found one on web)

A test render of the skeleton with a simple HDRI solution(will credit the original skeleton site when I remember the address):

FXWars! DISINTEGRATION!: Jo Plaete, ‘Jolle’

tried something out this weekend, the disintegration of my sister;)
It’s a very simpel try but it was fun doing it.
first test: download

The sequence is filmed using a (unfortunately) digital photocamera. But sis did well in acting:)
The vfx is done using After Effects with Trapcode Particular.

I hope I find some more time to do some more tweaks.
Crits&tips are very welcome !

greets,
Jo
