Learning VFX isn’t as hard as you think. Sometimes, all it takes is the length of a TikTok.
Until recently, VFX has been a daunting task. Whether you’re adding in CGI elements to a live-action background plate, or creating the whole thing from scratch, making it look good takes patience and a well-rounded understanding of several cinematography fundamentals. But as VFX software becomes more affordable, or free, in the case of Blender, creatives aren’t restricted by the money they can or can’t shell out.
This is where filmmaker Collin Black comes in with his super short, yet super informative TikTok video on creating VFX rain. For a shot in his short film, Sleeping with Clouds, Black created a fully CGI house and added real elements from Action VFX (a common reoccurrence in his work and mine). If at first glance you didn’t know this sequence was fake, I’ll eat my shoe.
