An effect tied to the performance.
The breath needs to emerge from the performer at the right moment, travel naturally and disappear into the gym atmosphere. The breakdown contrasts the plate with the finished effect and shows the 3D setup behind the shot.
Shape, position and light.
The process uses a 3D body reference and a volumetric breath effect, allowing the cloud to be positioned around the performance and lit in three dimensions. The final integration keeps the effect within the scene’s restrained, low-key lighting.
