Dawn of the Planet of the Zombies and the Giant Killer Plants on some Serious Acid VFX Breakdown


This personal late-night project started with a few simple test shots and snowballed into a 2min long dummy trailer with various detailed shots pushing whats capable as a one-man band to produce himself.

The inspiration for creating “Dawn of the Stuff…” came from the spoof title. Title sequences are getting longer and longer so it stuck with the project and the theme of exaggeration. The film is also an homage to old 1950s horror movies.


Alf Lovvold has used Maya for many years. A majority of “Dawn of the Stuff” was created using Maya. Redshift3D was used for most of the rendering. Fusion was used for all composition work.
