On “Shang-Chi,” I had the privilege of tackling a range of VFX challenges, contributing to various facets of the bus sequence. My work spanned from previsualization, through rigging the distinct brute blade, to animating its pivotal movements. I was also responsible for the intricate rigging of the bus’s disassembly mechanism, a key element in bringing realism to the sequence.
My role involved visualizing and animating several key shots, creating projection setups for compositors and lighters, and scripting controls for the bus’s accordion mechanism. Additionally, I animated panels breaking off the bus, passing cars, and the bus cables, including simulation on the split version of the bus cables.
