🎞️ Netflix Feature Film | Dexter Studios, South-Korea
For over 1.5 years, I worked at Dexter Studios, contributing to Netflix's Wonderland. I was responsible for developing the artificial intelligence effect, a high-resolution, dynamic volume simulation that visually embodies the artificial intelligence in the film.
The artificial intelligence effect was not just swirling - it was a complex, evolving volume that conveyed emotion and presence, playing a key role in the film's narrative. This effect appeared in over 53 scenes and became one of the most critical visual elements in the film. The effect even played a prominent role in the teaser, drawing attention to the artificial intelligence's significance. I was responsible for developing and executing all simulations representing artificial intelligence throughout the film, including scenes where the simulations directly interacts with the actors.
🎨 This Fluid-Art technique demonstrated here was a key part of the methods used during the production of Wonderland.
🔍 My responsibilities included:
-
🔬 Research & Development of a volume-based Houdini asset for dynamic, emotionally expressive simulations
-
🧩 Custom FX system design, optimized for scalability and integration across the production
-
💡 Lighting, rendering of all artificial intelligence-related scenes
-
⚙️ Pipeline optimization to allow efficient production of complex effects at scale
The procedural asset I developed became a core part of the film's visual language, enabling the efficient production of these detailed simulations across 53 scenes. Despite being invited to the premiere in Seoul, I couldn't attend due to overlapping work commitments, but I’m extremely proud of the impact this effect had on the film.
