Thanks to Filipp Dobuzhinskiy of breakdown intro!

Enjoy some sketches, concepts and breakdowns!

One of the most complex shots from the whole movie! The director filmed two takes and wished to stitch them in one. He wanted to use partly CGI water partly live footage but further we come to decision to replace completely water and cloths to have more control! 

Cloths and water simulations were done separately (in a different software). Cloths sim took about couple hours and final water SIM took around 40 hrs of machine time. 
The most part of the image you see comes from beauty render. Render passes where used mostly to fix some issues with speculars or refractions in some single frames.

And here go the sketches for the opening shots of the film

This is the shot we see how the devil inside main character allows him to treat with almost impossible task - to clean the very old abandoned well (and turn mud inside of it into drinkable water).
So we`ve decided to combine some trailing effect with kind of time lapse....
For this shot there we done dozens of takes. Also there were done tons of roto! 
During the shooting camera was locked. So to give it a bit of life we`ve done reprojection with low poly geometry. Also it was very useful for water collisions. For wter splashes i`ve build a rig wich allowed quickly and easily create 20-30 splashes by different artists at once.
This is the most complex composting shot we`ve ever done! The final comp consist of more then 3000 nodes!

This is the shot where we can see the devil(named Legion) which lives inside main character(Ivan Semenovitch) appears for the first time on the screen. Director wanted to see Legion steps out easily out of Ivan who's very exhausted with devils advices whispering permanently in his head.
The shot was done in two takes with similar camera movements.(rails without any special controller) We've stabilized, matchmoved and stitched them together. So one sits almost perfect atop another. Also we`ve rigged simple character and done bodytrack for smoke emission object.
