Methodology

N° 01

Establish the frame, not the look

Every shot begins with the camera, the cut, and the negative space. Lookdev is downstream of the question "what does the audience need to read in this frame?"

N° 02

Solve the silhouette first

Density, motion and timing come before shading. A wrong solver never fixes with a better shader; a right silhouette survives every iteration.

N° 03

Let the solver be the material

Tune the physics to feel right at 24fps, not at simulation time. The eye reads weight, not parameter values — so iterate against the shot, not the spreadsheet.

N° 04

Hand off as a layer, not a movie

Every simulation delivers as separate AOVs, deep data, and clean passes. The comp artist inherits the material, not a baked verdict.
