War is Over! - Unreal Engine Short Film

I was lucky enough to spend several months with the Weta FX Special projects team, doing FX for this project. The film won the best animated short film Oscar at the 2024 Academy Awards.

The film is currently unreleased.

I handled many stylized FX including flak explosions, mortars, snow, blood splats, muzzle flashes, ground kicks, and smoke plumes.
These were a mix of Houdini generated simulations, niagara particle systems and blueprints.
