Sci-Fi Collider - 2022

“In 1984, a scientist pursues her quest of unveiling the true fabric of reality, but her discovery will turn out to be more dangerous that she could have ever imagined.”

Reality Heist is a 6 minutes sci-fi short film, graduation film of the VFX department at the NFTS and directed by me. The collider is the machine built and used by the scientist to travel through parallel dimensions. Conceptualized from the script, I modelled the asset in Maya, textured it in Photoshop and Substance. I tracked the camera from the live plate with 3D Equalizer using the photogrammetry of the set I did with Reality Capture. I also used the photogrammetry to lineup the asset, camera and lighting to render through Arnold.
