The Perfect Age of Rock’n Roll

The Perfect Age of Rock’n Roll is a movie about a rock star whose sophmore album flops. I was asked to create some smoke and flares for a couple of scenes.

I tracked the camera movement and created a moving box to simulate the van with some turbulence fields behind it to make the smoke feel believable.

I think what sells the shot is the little after puff that comes after the bigger smoke cloud.
