Gathering some nature footage for our next film... #filmmaker #queerfilm #nature #wind #queerfilmmaker
What did it take to create our video intro? The particle simulation in the text was done with Houdini FX, general enhancement of the particle simulation footage was done with Topaz Video AI, and the text and layering was done with After Effects. Our special effects guy (Jonathan Brandt) likes using as many different pieces of software as possible.
