Oi!

Screenscene vfx too – there’s a breakdown of some stuff that 3 people did – it’s a video with a white wireframe of a car flipping. Done by me, Martin Naydenski doing thinking particles and fume for the fx bits and then a single comper, Andreass Cronstrom in nuke.

Some other interesting vfx bits due out soon on Ruairi robinson’s first feature, all max, tp, fume and vray too!
