Fire and Smoke VFX for a Commercial & R&D

I created all of the VFX for this spot on a pretty quick timeline. I also Supervised the shoot and created some basic previs from set measurements. We had some practical fire on set but it wasn’t enough so I added digital fire with TFD and also had the DP shoot some practical elements for me to layer in as well. 

Here is some R&D I was doing with TFD and X-Particles.

    Just for fun, if you ever decide to do the smokng bird effect except with a person walking 90deg to the camera and then slowed it down in twixtor or something, I’d like to see that. I haven’t been able to pull it off yet.
