Mind Merge FX Test 4

READ BELOW! (SORRY, NO SOUND)

This is a proof of concept that I did for the short film "Out of Focus." This is an unfinished version of an effect where the actress touches the old man and her spirit and his body become one (this is just a preview not the full 4K resolution render.) It is suppose to be so that she can see through his eyes. The director wanted the spirit and the old man's body to disintegrate once they merged kind of like the effect from "The Mummy." I was one of 4 FX artists working on designing this effect but unfortunately I had to pull out of the race because of my hectic schedule. The best effect would have been chosen to be in the film but would have had to be refined alot more and they seemed to be leaning the way of this version since it follows exactly what the VFX Supervisor told me they wanted. It's a shame I couldn't continue but I completed several other FX shots and compositing shots for the film. I will post a montage of this work here later once the film is released.

@Raghav91 When he turns into sand and it blows away.. not exactly the same but sort of like it.

Only issue I have with this effect is the color it seems a bit to yellow. It would look better cooled down a bit. But I understand that this is an unfinished work, so props to you.

@kcin228 I agree I would have probably adjusted the color if I had of continued. Glad you understand it is unfinished as some people apparently don't. This will not ever be finished because I did not want to take it any further for the client.
