## Caption

VFX Breakdowns of Stay (link is in my bio). I learned two major lessons on this short. One is that the visuals don't matter without real performance, and the other is to ALWAYS shoot something practical to do any VFX work later.
This was a gigantic group effort, with timotheemaron and vistavie.vi creating brutal and natural CG assets for the fungus environments.
And of course the great performance by ashleynphipps22 anabex6 armonhassan Seth K Hale, and all of our committed zombie extras! And the killer lighting from kylekadow and crew who made each shot look unique and made dramatic, complex lighting look effortless.
Watch Stay if you haven’t, link in bio!
