The idea was to add arrows in an 3D LED style to shots, highlighting where people can find healthcare help. Rather than modelling the arrow in a traditional way, I made use of Geometry Nodes in Blender. This allowed me to build in controls to easily and quickly change the arrow dimensions based on client feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we were happy with the look of the arrows, I set about adding it to the footage. After some matchmoving, animating and rendering, the shots were ready to be sent off for compositing. All renders were sent over as EXR image sequences, giving the compositor high dynamic range material to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some animation and VFX work for the WG Better Health Starts With You advert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2347,"template":"","filters":[41],"class_list":["post-2345","portfolio-item","type-portfolio-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","filters-vfx","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Better Health Starts With You - CG Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I worked on the Better Health Starts With You advert for the Welsh Government, creating a node based arrow, animating it and handling the VFX\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Better Health Starts With You - CG Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I worked on the Better Health Starts With You advert for the Welsh Government, creating a node based arrow, animating it and handling the VFX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"CG Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-08-07T10:47:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/better-health.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/\",\"name\":\"Better Health Starts With You - CG Nerd\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/better-health.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-07-06T14:48:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-08-07T10:47:04+00:00\",\"description\":\"I worked on the Better Health Starts With You advert for the Welsh Government, creating a node based arrow, animating it and handling the VFX\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/index.php\/portfolio-item\/better-health-starts-with-you\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/better-health.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.cgnerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/better-health.png\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1080,\"caption\":\"A woman using a laptop.
