water FX reference – water impacts

by farhan Leave a Comment

As part of my collecting animation reference I filmed myself and my boy dropping pine cones into a small pond.  There’s lots of interesting water impacts as the pine cone lands in the water, plus ripples and the cone submerging into the water before popping out.  I’ve put it in slow motion too.

VFX reference flags whitgift

As part of my collecting VFX reference I filmed three large cloth flags on tall poles billowing in the wind (low angle).  I’ve put it up in slow motion too so you can analyse the dynamics that are going on and how the three flags responded slightly differently to the same force. The start point […]
