Call of Duty: Warzone 2 - Champion's Quest Nuke

This was for one of the Warzone 2 Champion's Quest Nuke Victory cinematic sequences.

I set up and directed all visual effects, including the nuke mushroom cloud explosion, mushroom base impact and dust clouds, blowing dust, debris, atmospherics, skybox effects, burning fire and smoke on the buildings and cars, ground debris, flying ash, embers, blowing paper, as well as color grading and post processing.

Additional work included directing placement of wrecked cars, trucks, and ground debris, along with creating and processing the optical flow motion vector maps and materials to slow down the 64-frame 8K mushroom cloud textures to work with a 20 second sequence duration.
