Invasion
VFX breakdown by Trehmer Film team
Feature film "Invasion" is sequel of famous Russian movie "Attraction" directed by Fedor Bondarchuk and released ealier in 2017 describing how changed Julia's life. Now three years later mankind is about to experience new encounter..
We did created 100+ complex CGI shots with tons of FX in it. Many of them are very unique and didn`t allow us to copypaste it from shot to shot or use it as pre-cached asset.
Concept Art
We started this project with the lookdev of the spaceship-personal-transport-capsule in concept arts. This thing is done of metal but has an agility to build a kind of thin but very strong water shield. And all this alien technologies are linked with water. Whatever happens in the movie it was supported with different kind of water effects.
We also did a group cloud shots researching and developing our own technology and effective methods.
Shots
We had 100+ shots on this show. The new kind of experience for us was the uniqueness of each set of FX and assets for each 3-5 groups of shots. We jumped from the ground to the sky, then underwater and etc. involving more and more unique elements like water dust trail, smoke trail, water explosion, clouds assets and so on. Enjoy some of them below.
