Nike - Unleash Your Power | Spec Ad
**Reuploaded at full quality** Here’s a small passion project of mine that I started this past Fall but only just got back around to finishing. I’ve been learning Houdini over the past year and wanted to pull off a simple effect with live action footage. Definitely some things I can improve on, but overall I’m pretty happy with how it came out! There’s also a fair amount of invisible/creative comp work in here, and the breakdown for it can be seen here: https://youtu.be/kypTRi2zmUk Hope you enjoy! #Houdini #Nuke #Blender #VFX #Nike Song - Running Away by Thee Sacred Souls ———————————— I do not own the rights to the music used, nor possess the licensing to promote Nike products commercially. This is merely a mock ad.

Beauty Pageant Explosion FX
This was a shot I did for YouTuber Rebecca Zamolo this March. The full video can be found here: https://youtu.be/m9jqA5b4vno?t=21 This was an extremely fun project, and I learned a ton in the process! Big thanks to the production team who helped coordinate this. The modelling, texturing and sim was done in Houdini (rendered w/ Karma), composited in Nuke, and added an extra bit of color grade, glow, & camera shake in Davinci Resolve. Further details and a static version (no cam shake) can be found at my Artstation profile: https://www.artstation.com/luckyj714

A small CGI Earth study I did from this week. The goal was to replicate the look of this NASA photo: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3ghuz4477c45aw7/AAAlo1-kNTQMqLPHzqRwkZFba?dl=0&preview=iss066e099391.jpg Modeled, textured & animated in Blender Cycles. Composited in Nuke. Textures courtesy of NASA, music courtesy of Soundcrate. #VFX #CGI
