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. The start […]
FX reference – bubbles from water can in water
As part of my collecting animation reference I filmed myself submerging a water can full of air into a water tank. As I did it the water pushed the air out of the opening making lots of large bubbles which then ripple through the water. I’ve put it in slow motion too. The start point […]
VFX reference – water FX large boat high reverse angle
As part of my collecting FX reference I filmed the water FX on a large passenger boat travelling away from the port on Bosporus river on the roof top from the hotel. There’s so much great water FX referenece here water FX wakes – forming and dissipating water FX foam water churn water collisions on […]
VFX reference – boats in river (side angle) water FX
As part of my collecting FX reference I filmed the water FX on boats travelling through the Bosporus river while on holiday (this is how FX artists spend their holidays). There’s so much great water FX refernece here water wakes – forming and dissipating water foam water churn water collisions on side of boats underlying […]
VFX reference – Turbulent Smoke
This is a follow up to the last VFX reference video, here I took a wider angle as the wind became stronger the smoke became more turbulent. I took a side angle on this and followed the smoke upwards too. At 1:10 some guy walks past and tells me ‘instead of filmin’ it why don-cha […]

As part of my collecting VFX reference I (risked my life – the things I do for you guys 🙂 filmed a mini charred out fire . What had happened was someone had stuffed something into the used cigarette holder that was burning below. I thought it was interesting to film the VFX reference […]
VFX reference – Flags in the wind
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 […]
