In this comedy by Nicolas Benamou, the Rousselot family’s Corsican holiday takes an unexpected turn after an accident and an encounter with their neighbours.

OVEL handled the VFX post-production of around 100 shots, covering CGI and compositing. The work includes the integration of a digital creature, animated as a dynamic puppet interacting with the actors, as well as an explosion created in Houdini. The creature’s rig and fur were developed in Houdini and rendered with Karma.

Conceived as a dynamic digital puppet, the creature was animated to interact with the actors and become part of their performance.

Its rig and fur were built in Houdini; it was rendered in Karma before being integrated in compositing.

OVEL created an explosion in Houdini for On aurait dû aller en Grèce.

The breakdown shows the working view in Houdini, the explosion render and its integration into the final shot.
