This full CG shot from the TV series Helgoland 513 was created in collaboration between two studios. It shows several ships approaching the island and acts as the final shot of the second season. I worked in a dual role in FX and compositing. As the FX Artist, I was responsible for the FLIP fluid and whitewater simulations. Due to the scene’s scale and complexity, optimization was essential to keep caching and render times efficient. This required a careful balance between simulated detail and computation time. In compositing, I focused on creating a realistic water surface and integrating the CG ships into the ocean. Additional lens effects supported the moody evening atmosphere and enhanced realism. Being involved in both departments allowed me to shape the aesthetic of the final image.
