A Day in Heaven
Car Blast
status - complete
Watch final version (1MB)
In this scene there is a false start on the car, the characters are
inside ready for the first trip when the engine, on the back and under
the hood, explode with a puff of thick smoke. This scene is
split into 4 parts, a shot of the back of the car, a shot of the front
of the car, a shot of the guy, a shot of the boy, and back to the guy.

The
first part in this scene is the shot of the car blast from behind.
I have some things going for me here. The camera is locked
so I won't need to track anything and there are only 35 frames that I
need to create smoke effects for.

I am going to have to create the flash and smoke that spills out from
under the car in 3D and then composite them into the plate. I will also have to add a little camera bump.

For the time being I have
put this on the "if I have time I might get to it, but otherwise I
don't think it is that necessary considering all the other shots I have
to do in such a short time frame."
So I ditched it, we will see if the scene works without this shot.

The last three shots are really two shots that
bounce back to each other. I need to create background smoke, and
smoke coming off the actors. The first and last shots have a
little bit of camera movement, while the second one has a lot.
I don't expect too much trouble with these, My CG smoke never looks that great so it's going to be a little cartoony.
Fortunately a cartoony look will fit into the movie.
If I have time I would like to have the kid cough a lump of coal. I think that might be a good gag.
