- Apple Tree
A fun but complex spot I worked on with my friends at Kompost films in Zurich Switzerland.
As the Lead Effects Artist I was in charge of all the weather effects including - the snow and rain,
the cloud animation, leaf dynamics, and flower petal dynamics. 
I handled all the weather effects. The clouds were done using maya fluids. The snow on the trees were static Realflow meshes. All skillfully rendered and comp'd by the talented artists at Kompost
The timing and overlapping of seasons posed a serious challenge. In this image I handled the fluid effects, leaf dynamics, rain, and cloud animation.
The animators did a great job of showing the emotion and personalities of the characters in this fast action spot!
