HEXENJAGD – Breakdown
Made in 2017/2018
-commissioned project-
Besides helping out a bit on location during the shooting I was able to make some VFX for Vanessa Stachel's short film and master-thesis "Hexenjagd" [eng. witchhunt].
This included mainly the full CGI scenes of the stake with the burned witch and the smoke coming out of the cabin.
Within the scenes I was responsible for the block out, fire and smoke simulation, character, sculpting, rigging, texturing, environment, light, rendering and compositing. The final grading was done by Vanessa.
I worked mainly in Cinema 4D including Octane, TurbulenceFD, Forster as well as Substance Painter, MakeHuman, After Effects, Zbrush and Davinci Resolve.
