NCEL — Fast Play

For this project, I developed a system of Vellum-based money simulations combined with stylized Pyro FX to achieve dynamic, cinematic motion. The cash was driven by custom forces and soft-body dynamics to capture realistic flutter and weight, while the smoke evolved from finely tuned pyro simulations crafted for visual flow and rhythm. Every element was built with flexibility in mind, enabling fast art direction adjustments and seamless integration across multiple shots.
