Benriach Whisky: Shades of Smoke

ROLE

Motion Designer

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Benriach Whisky was looking to produce a campaign video for their new Shades of Smoke whisky, a 31 year old single malt evoking spring, summer floral notes. They worked with Italian-Dominican artist, Stefano Contiero, to develop the packaging artwork and wanted a soft, artistic campaign video to help promote it.

I worked on several simulations including fluid, smoke and particle simulations. I also built the flower geometry for the flower smoke simulation.

Senior Look Dev Artist: Jess Smith
Senior Motion Designer: Woody Hai

Made at Where Giants Roam

I built a flip fluid simulation of liquid pouring into a glass, then used the outgoing velocity to create a particle simulation which mimicked the original flow of liquid.

The swirling smoke and particle simulation is built in a similar fashion to the initial liquid and particle simulation. The particle simulation is what generates the velocity this time, and the smoke is then advected by the output.
