Houdini FX Live-Action Showreel Breakdown:
1-4. "Ferrero Rocher", The Mill, December 2020. I helped develop the look and motion of the pixie dust and simulated it across several shots in these two commercials.
5. "The Kitchen", Alkemy X, September 2018. I simulated the glass from phonebooth being shattered by a bullet for this film.
6. "Luce", Brainstorm Digital, May 2018. I simulated additional fireworks.

8-10. "The Greatest Showman", Brainstorm Digital, August 2017. I simulated snow for this feature film using instanced particles. These three shots are a snippet of a larger scene of 13 snow shots. Each shot contains seven to nine different layers of snow particles to create the illusion of depth.
11. "The Greatest Shoman", Brainstorm Digital, August 2017. I simulated fake snow from a snow machine for several shots in the film. The snow was simulated to match fake snow that was used on set for a seamless look.

15-16. "Time After Time", Alkemy X, November 2016. I simulated sparks and smoke for this television show, and I packaged the spark simulation into a digital asset to allow other artists to build sparks. The sparks are a particle system with controlled motion blur. The smoke system was built to match a small amount of practical smoke in the footage.
17. "Clover", Brainstorm Digital, May 2018. I simulated the shattered window.
