The Witching Hour

The Witching Hour was a pre-production project in first year which was selected as a group project in my second year. Originally a VFX short, we were unable to finish it due to the pandemic so I have decided to finish it in my spare time as a full 3D animation. My main task as part of the group was to create the FX and help with the animation.

Effects

The effects below are for two of the The Witching Hour's shots. The character will go from standing in a forest to standing in complete darkness as the smoke washes over them.

The shot on the left is the first and will be follow by the one on the right. We can also see a breakdown of both.

I will also be reworking these for the final short.
