The creature is centimeters aways from your face, the darkness barely reveal an horrific goat looking monster that stare at you with malefic eyes — One of the close-up shots

Warning

STRONG FLASHING LIGHT IN THE BELOW VIDEO

The first creature reveal shot

He reached for the flashlight and light it up, but it only revealed the horror of the creature, a tall humanoid goat with sharp claws, path of fur missing like it was rotten. — The torchlight was a mesh light with a geo generated from matchmove

Some pretty silouhette; my lighting was much brigther but the compositor did real good here.

2 empty eyes staring at you but it's no man's; maybe the left ear is but the right one tells otherwise. Don't even look at the mouth full of sharp teeth. — When she smile back at you 🥰

I think this was the fastest lighting I did haha.

Used lights with animated transform on this one to fake the flames movement. Lights were constrained to animated locators created in Maya with a noise expression (to get live preview).

The body started to burn intensely out of nowhere. But behind a silouhette appeared out of the darkness, the flames revealing her cursed body. — Through the fire and flames 🤘

Starring at the 2 men she was there, surronded by a mysterious mist of darkness. Sundenly the mist moved and she disapeared, taking with her the light of the room as the neon exploded.

I remember this shot being much more tricky to get right; especially considering the wall interraction that required shadow catching.
