I was working as a VFX compositor for Snowball Studios, working on this 25min long episode for the TV show. I worked with an amazing team, comprised of talented artists and directors, as part of the compositing department, so all the credit goes to them. I do not own the credits to these images. They are used here only to showcase my work.

One of the my main challenges was to create the UI effects for the holograms in the episode. Based on concept art provided by the client, and with the direction of my supervisors, I helped creating these effects. More notes below.

The big holosphere (seen above) was done entirely in Fusion, applying different textures to cards and spheres and adding various effects (such as glow) afterwards.

As for the small communication devices (seen below), the UI effects were done in After Effects, in much the same fashion as the holosphere - using cards and null objects to control the animation.

The setup was a bit complex, involving lots of nested precomps, so I provided a script that sets up the effect easily in each shot, using 3D information from the animation software used.

Additional various effects were created in AE, shown below.
