This weekend the Ducati team gathered to shoot our live plate and develop reference material. For the VFX we collected some long exposure light streak reference that I feel will be beneficial while developing the portal effects for our project. Here are some of the reference and my favorite live plate for our background:
I have been working on the fire effects for the rocket powered flying motorcycle in our first shot. The flames are not moving fast enough yet, and I will need to incorporate the flames into the animated motorcycle.
Update: Re-worked the pyro today to try and make it more flame like. Here is the result of that.
I am trying matching reference material of butane torches and jet thrusters. The references I have found show that these flames are fast moving, and smokeless.
