Coffee Splash Stop Bullet Effect (VFX Breakdown)
One more shot with a clean-up , 3D camera tracking and compositing of a computer generated cup with coffee. The idea of a Director was to create a stop bullet effect from the Matrix movie, but shooting gear was different from Hollywood, so I have a "dolly" motion of a camera with a "freeze" actors. Sometimes actors were acting, and I had to hide their movements to make it look like a real "freeze". Then I tracked the motion of the camera and passed it to the Houdini Artist who brought me back the image sequences. After final compositing and few wishes from the client I successfully finished this shot.
