This is an ad for US Marines CorpsĀ that I worked on as a freelance FX artist at Framestore. The following are some of the shots I worked on:
00:08-00:10: Collapsing background buildings
- I modified and animated a setup created by FX TD.
- Iterated on building placement and animation under leadĀ guidance.
- Set up simulation/rendering dependency graphs, enabling elements (buildings, debris, smoke) to simulate and render as they're ready, reducing the load on the render farm.

00:14-00:17: Shifting plants
- Animated plants using cloth simulation techniques.
- Modified "pin FX" growth effect set up by FX TD to control timing and speed by painting the appropriate attributes on the plant geometry.
