This is a personal VFX study and reinterpretation of the final fire scene from Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu.
My goal was to recreate the intensity and expressionist lighting while reimagining it through a fully CG approach.
This project was an opportunity to push my skills in Houdini simulations, lookdev, lighting, and compositing, and to explore storytelling through atmosphere and visual language.
(and also, try to incorporate Ai in my Workflow)
