Visual Effect

Brief:
Design and create a visual effects sequence. The visual effects should be based on Maya's dynamics system, and composited into live action video motion tracking techniques.

Assessment:

-The sequence must utilise at least one Maya dynamics effect - Particles for smoke, fire, or rain, etc -Rigid Bodies for colliding objects or -Soft Bodies for deformable shapes.
-The live footage may be filmed by the student or sourced from a stock footage website. Any sourced material must be referenced appropriately
-The sequence must include at least one cut from one angle to another, with attention given to meaningful editing
-The dynamics effect must be inserted onto tje live footage via motion tracking techniques. The student may use Maya Live or a free tracker such as Icarus or Voodoo
-There must be an interaction between the CG and live elements in terms of shadows, reflections, refractions, etc..
