kashmere Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hey guys, I am new to houdini and FX, I am preparing my first student FX reel now. I am working on Independence day like shot with alien beam blowing up the Statue of Liberty. One of my tutors have expressed reservations that using statue of liberty for a pyro destruction reel may not be ok for political reasons, even though the aliens are the ones doing it. I want your take on this, all are welcome to give their input. I have attached a flipbook, there is no beam there yet though. full_explosion_v4.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think I kind of agree with your tutor. The way it could work is you could start off very close up and when you pull back the scene is actually a diorama in a museum display case or something. A kids shoe box. Go for a laugh rather a than a cry. Plus you practice the art of the reveal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
