I had the opportunity to give a talk,  Automating FX on Avengers: Endgame, at Effects America 2019 in Montreal in June . https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Antman-and-the-Wasp Mon, 09 Sep 2019 01:40:05 +0000 the vfx of jeffrey charles higgins https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Antman-and-the-Wasp Antman and the Wasp [2018] Directed by Peyton Reed Diving into the Quantum realm  was a fun change from the typical visual effects work. By the time I was envolved on the show the language of the Quantum realm had been established and it was mostly about furthering the story and upping the ante as our heros depart in the midst of a storm to return home. Here’s some of the cool concepts, that the final look was based on. It was a lot of fun to bring to life a beautifully colourful, prismatic, and dynamic environment that is the Quantum realm. https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Avengers-Infinity-War Mon, 09 Sep 2019 02:24:50 +0000 the vfx of jeffrey charles higgins https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Avengers-Infinity-War Avengers: Infinity War [2018] Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo AVENGERS – INFINITY WAR: Kelly Port (VFX Supervisor) with Phil Cramer (Animation Director), Eric Scott (VFX Producer) and Darren Hendler (Head of Digital Humans) – Digital Domain https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Shadow Mon, 09 Sep 2019 02:52:55 +0000 the vfx of jeffrey charles higgins https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Shadow Shadow [2018] Directed by Zhang Yimou This film was a unique opportunity to enhance the action by adding a procedural workflow to add flying ( sometimes breaking, sometimes sticking ) arrows to a sequence of shots. A system in houdini was built to emit on the fly rigidbody dynamics with constraints based on flying arrows from archers. The arrows were also proceudrally animated in a loop to give the frenetic energy arrows given when launched from bowes and to flex, spin, and otherwise fly into the air and collide with the environment. The system catered to directly rendering in the Mantra renderer with deformation motion blur as well as with motionvectors where needed for compositors to dial up or down the amount shot to shot.  This also included separate set of passes for shadows and reflections onto the environment. I delivered all of the work for the arrows myself as well as was responsible for adding additional water elements where needed by the VFX Supervisor. https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Ready-Player-One Mon, 09 Sep 2019 02:52:43 +0000 the vfx of jeffrey charles higgins https://jeffreycharleshiggins.com/Ready-Player-One Ready Player One [2018] Directed by Stephen Spielberg READY PLAYER ONE: Matthew Butler (VFX Supervisor) & Scott Meadows (Head of Visualization) – Digital Domain
