Where am I?
My project, Where am I?, explores the feeling of lucid dreaming through a mix of live-action and surreal VFX. I wanted to create a dreamscape that changes with the protagonist's emotions, blurring reality and imagination.I built and rendered the environment in Maya, adding Thai elements that reflect my background. Using Houdini, I crafted a disintegration effect that dissolves the door as the character interacts with it. Using camera tracking and compositing in Nuke helped me blend the live-action shots with the digital effects.
This project captures dreams' fluid, unpredictable nature, combining technical skills with a personal touch. It offers a way to make the abstract sensation of dreaming feel more natural and relatable.
