The Kimmy Torch

I found another interesting tutorial on Creative Cow, this one showing how to turn someone into the Human Torch. I decided to try it out on Kimmy.


The Kimmy Torch from Nicole Van Luvender on Vimeo.

 The hardest part (though not so much difficult as it was time consuming) was animating the mask that followed her movement (and contained the flame).  Then I had to troubleshoot certain areas where the flame decided it didn't want to go.  Through a bit of trial and error, I was able to branch away from the tutorial and get the effect to do what I wanted it to.

Many thanks to my furry actress.
