“follow them, harry,” says harry to himself. “follow them or die.”

so here is the magic from a program named after another wizardly harry.

so, yeah, totally not finished. i had to get it ready for my houdini final. the smoke, fire, and water are all out of houdini. for a first time user, i can live with it. in reality all 3 will be rerendered by the time the shot is "ready" in spring. Smoke could use more plumes/particles. water could use some smaller waves with less noise in the distance. fire could use not to look like ass. but whatever.

Also the foreground will be animated with some sweet breathing and coughing animation. woot.

all in all, i think fair progress.

especially since the shot will just get filtered like f*ck in some sort of "FLASHBACK!" way and will be on the screen for most likely half this time.

word.

one more project to go...
