A shot for the film W. This is just the raw 3D without any live action or final comps. My inspiration was Turner's Parliament burning painting. We completed all the effects for our sequences (Baghdad and some stadium extensions) in 4 weeks! Sadly the Baghdad sequence was cut from the film - will be in the DVD extras!

The Burning of Parliament (J. W. M. Turner, 1834)
The scene is created in Houdini, rendered with mantra.
