For my personal project this term I am looking for a challenge in particle effects and video compositing. This is also a way to prepare me for my future work. In the future I would also like to work on my own in these two areas.

This time I was mainly inspired by Harry Potter. I have always liked the Harry Potter films. So this time I’m going to use the Harry Potter theme to make a short film about a magical showdown.

My story focuses on the fact that one day Aiken went to school and a portal appeared in the wall of the school. Aiken was stunned at the sight and reached out to touch it. After touching the portal, a bright light flashed and Aiken was transported to the magical world. Afterwards, Aiken had a magical duel with a wizard.

ection I also found a lot of references

There is something about the creation of effects that I am going to try this time using houdini. I have already found some tutorials online. And I’ve started to learn and hopefully I’ll be able to create the desired result.

This week I have made the general effect of the portal, next week should be able to complete the entire portal.

The following week I was going to go to school to borrow some of the equipment I needed to use. And start filming. And to make the CG scenes for the video.

is individual project is a new challenge for me. I will learn a lot more in this personal project.
