This is a post dedicated to some of the effects that will be going into this film.
First of all, there's this tree I've been talking so much about. Essentially, instead of leaves, it has a bunch of portals into dreams that emit light and float around the ends of the branches. When clumped together and seen from afar, they create this cloud-like form that sways like it's being blown by wind. Here are some reference images:
Next, when Leo enters the dream he's looking for, he encounters an animated trail of smoke that leads him to the memory. This effect will look like ink that has been dropped into water, but will be animated with a life of its own. This video illustrates the effect I'm shooting for, but with quicker movements since it will be floating to somewhere instead of just slowing down in water: [Click Here]
Finally, when Leo runs through the DreamScape to approach the tree, his footsteps create a ripple effect through the floor. When his foot comes in contact with the ground, circular rings made of lights spread out from the center of contact and wave through the floor like a water ripple until they dissipate into nothingness once again.
This film is going to look awesome, I'm really excited!
