This sequence was constructed from a template given to me by my teacher to create an eerie scene where a magic orb burst from the ground and its magic destroys its environment.
I did originally plan to have more destruction within the environment, especially towards the end for a final explosion. But it turned into a lesson on how rendering times and deadlines aren’t the closest of friends.
Weeks 9 – 12 of my Behance blog shows the creative process of me putting it together and experimenting with rigid bodies and shatter physics.
