Shot Recreation: The Everything Bagel
This project was inspired by one of my favorite films from 2022, Everything Everywhere All At Once. Directing duo "The Daniels" wrote a powerful story full of weird ideas and crazy visuals. I was especially motivated when learning about the small visual effects team that worked on the film, and since I had been wanting to try my hand at FX creation in Houdini, this felt like a perfect shot to try and recreate on my own using all original assets created by me.

This is a look at some of the smoke / particle effects that I created for this project using Houdini.
Compositing Breakdown
This breakdown shows a combination of all the elements I created for this piece and how I brought them together. Everything in frame was made by me in Maya, Houdini, or Nuke. I learned a lot about the creative process from this project, including how to take an idea from start to finish using only CG resources. Working through this helped me immensely in my professional projects and ended up being a great creative exercise that taught me a lot of compositing concepts as well as some basic FX creation in Houdini.
