VFX & Compositing

Forged in Fire

A Ramayana-inspired title card — Ram, Ravana and the Vanar Sena rendered in fire and embers for an epic-battle opening.

A Ramayana-inspired opening title card — figures reading as Ram, Ravana and the Vanar Sena rendered almost entirely in fire, embers and emissive light rather than lit geometry. The brief this piece set for itself was simple: stage a mythological battle moment where flame carries the composition instead of decorating it.

Render passes were composited rather than taken straight out of the renderer, giving control over how far the glow bleeds into the surrounding dark before it reads as noise instead of fire.
