Our short film will showcase our specialty skills in cinematography, compositing, procedural environment, dynamic animation, crowd simulation, look development, materials, lighting, matte painting, modeling, shading/texturing, art direction, while working cohesively as a team.

​

 

Hero FX goals include: multi-layered compositing involving CG, matte painting and live action assets, complex matte painting projections with ZBrush workflow, fish crowd simulations, procedurally generated vegetation, and XGen feathers and hair.

​

 

By working together as a team, we take advantage of each person’s specialized skill set to create a visually stunning short in a 10-week period of time. As a team of co-directors, each person is involved in every step of the process beyond their individual skills.
