🎬 Film: Midsommar (2019)
🏢 Studio: Front VFX
Midsommar, directed by Ari Aster, is a visually striking psychological horror film that juxtaposes disturbing rituals with the brightness of endless Scandinavian summer daylight. I had the opportunity to contribute to this unsettling masterpiece through Front VFX, focusing on a range of Houdini-based FX work.
My contributions included:
🔴 Blood Simulations:
Several scenes required realistic, physically accurate blood effects. I was responsible for simulating how the blood flows, splashes, and interacts with surfaces ensuring it felt organic and grounded in the film’s intense atmosphere.
🩻 Softbody Simulations:
From subtle body deformations to violent impacts, I created softbody dynamics that brought realism to some of the film's more grotesque moments.
