Sensient Video

[5 Dimensional Nick]

Dear Forumers,

There are not enough music videos for psy. I am a growing special effects artist and made a video for the amazing producer known as Sensient. I would try to explain it but that would be hard. The link is below along with links to my social media sites and Sensient's. I hope you enjoy it. Please comment and share if you do.

Really impressive work. Can you do a brief walkthrough of your work flow?

1. Modeled everything.
2. Red "plasma stream" is a particle simulation.
3. Collected footage for spherical TV.
4. Liquid in container is fluid simulation.
5. Applied materials.
6. Animated the whole thing.
7. Added cameras and animated them.
8. Created render passes: Master beauty, Ambient occlusion, zDepth.
9. Created glow matte and glow reflection matte.
10. Rendered in batch render software (better info about rendering status). NB: The entire rendering took 4 months!!!! Probably because when I started I didn't realize that a ray-trace depth of 10 reflections and 10 refractions was FAR TOO MUCH!!!
11. Composited it all blending Master beauty and Ambient occlusion, used zDepth to create depth of field, and added glow.
12. Edited final output.
13. Sorted.

I was very happy indeed. Always looking to improve stuff though.

Finished it on NYE which was nice (and not planned!).

So, what programs did you use along the way?

 

[5 Dimensional Nick]

Realflow (liquid sim)
Nuke (compositing)
After Effects (editing)
Maya (everything else)

great work nick. really nice to see someone putting time to capturing the lego world of what seems like 6-d space and beyond!

 

[soulfood]

Nice work. Really suited the vibe and the pacing/development was spot on...

and DAMN that's a tune
