"It is not every evening that I love you."

This is my very first project on exploring how to create some moody and foggy stuffs. The layout and lightings are inspired by references I found on Pinterest.  While doing research online, I came across a poem from Robert Bly's ———‘Seeing You Carry Plants In’ that matched my work, so I combined them into a outcomes a full CG short reel using Houdini.

Shot 1& 2--- I created a bumpy ground using the mountain node. Then I scattered 2 types of plant assets on top of it.  The animations of the plants are done procedurally in VOP nodes. The fog I created using cloud note.

Shot 3--- I render a window frame, and the raindrops I using footage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuOJNxyZsMI&t=1s) to comp.

Shot 4--- This shot I created a ripple scene to correspond to the poem. Using shot 5 as the water reflection and point VOP to create the ripples. 

Shot 5--- This shot I using footage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dqEkeFb8Q0)to comp the fog.

Shot 6--- This shot is my favourite shot  in this short reel. The fog in this shot I created also using cloud note.
