Dynamo - Magician Impossible, Ad
Delivery
A promotional commercial for Discovery Channel launching UK magician Dynamo’s flagship series, Magician Impossible.
Methodology
The spot required keying the talent from a bluescreen studio capture and placing him into an environment, combined with dynamic rigid-body card simulations falling from the sky and interacting with the environment. Every single shot had these card simulations.
Technical
The card dynamic simulation was modeled after stadium ticker tape physics, specifically tuning tumbling behaviours to align with creative direction. My responsibilities spanned from the particle card simulation + rigid-bodies, camera tracking, lighting, and rendering.
Planning
The project was executed by a lean team comprising a few CG generalists, a matte painter, and a Flame compositor.
