The last movie I had the opportunity to work on during my time at Mr. X.

I was responsible for developing the look of the soda bottle sequence, which involved extensive R&D and look development to achieve the desired visual result. The final shots were built from several layered FX simulations, including foam, spray, fluid, and micro-particles.

The effects were integrated with a LiDAR-scanned environment, with the various elements interacting with the surrounding surfaces. I also developed a custom shader to recreate the drying effect on the wet floor, helping sell the progression of the sequence.

It was a challenging and rewarding setup that required a combination of simulation, look development, and shading, and provided plenty of valuable lessons along the way.
