About Project:
The actor was filmed on a green screen laying on a pile of sand, objective was to fit her into an hourglass that begins to run out of time. The challenge was to create a sand castle collapsing without it being such a heavy simulation.
I was able to come up with a practical solution making my own sand castle on a piece of wood and hitting the wood to get a nice collapse effect. Later on it was composited into the fake sand simulation to create a seamless sim.
