Thread with fire demos for students
There are a lot of ways to stylize fire. You can simplify it with rising masses, you can track holes and edges

I helped my friend a bit with a small fx animation. Sort of a tiny collab. ๐ I love how she draws characters. You can find her on instagram @ yokeora

I love animating volumetric smoke but it always takes so much time ๐ฅฒ

That's interesting! I think fire is pretty simple at the start, but the more you do it and the further you go you realize how complex it can be x D
The beauty of learning effects is seeing how incredible even the smallest things are - a droplet on the glass, a splash on a puddle, appreciating the subtlety and mundane. It hard not to take these things for granted. Take care of each other, everyone.
It's always nice to simplify things. Even with a ball and a tail there's so much to explore - like how you can express the weight and material through timing and spacing.
Hope these notes may come in handy and lead to more experimenting!

My favorite animation from 2023 - lovely Ignited for VFX Apprentice. It was so much fun doing everything from scratch and I love clouds and colors.

Sadly nowdays I rarely get enough energy and motivation to do fx outside of work/course I teach but here are a couple explosion sketches and studies.

Battling my own mindset with character animation. I always had trouble approaching characters and learning more about animation made it worse to a degree. Holding yourself up to unreasonable standard. Definitely tough to break through.

Each fire has a different loop length for variety but the full loop is too long lol

Now actually small fire I did sometime ago. Fire changes in shape really fast, you need slowmo footage to really appreciate how complex and intricate the motion is.

Heya to everyone who is still here! I've been sorting through life and recovering from mild depression, finally feeling like coming back. Let's start with some fun splashes๐

The series Ignited on the process of creating complex scenes with 2dfx is finally up!! Please check it out at
@VFXApprentice
. It was an incredible and challenging project to work on, since I had to juggle full-time freelance. I'll talk a bit more about it below

I loved working on these backgrounds, lots of greens and blues, and clouds. So everything I need in a painting. You can check you some behind the scenes for it in

series.
Finally - smoke tutorial
If this is helpful I'll do more in-depth one and cover such topics as fx animation, object interaction and so on

So jetlagged that last night (morning?) still feels surreal, but apparently we won an ANNIE for best FX/Feature๐๐
So here's a fun boom I had the privilege to animate for Across the

I worked on lot of shooting shots in the cinematic. This one was the most fun

I had a chance to collaborate with Riot as a 2D FX artist on Target Practice and Wings of Justice Champion trailers. Props to the team for the amazing work. Here are some electric fx for the shot with Jayce crashing drones.
