This is the title sequence for the movie Moonrise Kingdom, reinterpreted to convey the film's perspective through the eyes of children, fully embodying their wild imagination and recklessness. Starting with a mundane canoe in the ocean and ending with a fantastical Moonrise Kingdom, the sequence captures the journey of Sam and Suzy's imagination from the film.

Process
I used Arnold as the primary render engine for the base, and composited the rendered clouds layer generated by the volume builder in C4D using Photoshop. To create a cohesive tone throughout the sequence, I also applied additional lighting effects and a LUT.![](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b165b83139ed72a20072f5a700b56c6cafd9abb2628b89e331b821b20162537e/SD2_MK_Wk11_1stFrame.jpg)
