How to make practical water and bubble effects
Plus, old-school motion graphics anim and optical effects.Today on the befores & afters podcast, were chatting to director, cinematographer and VFX artist Christopher Webb about practical effects. Chris is the founder of FX WRX, an outfit that specializes in in-camera effects. Ive talked to him previously about several projects, but today were narrowing in on a Gatorade Propel spot achieved with some very fun water and bubble effects, and on a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers video. For that video, FX WRX created some incredible analog motion graphic animation and optical effects, very 80s style. For each project, we go into detail about the shoot at FX WRXs studio, including with motion control camera equipment and bespoke setups.This episode of the befores & afters podcast is sponsored by SideFX.
