I’m curious to see what sorts of runny reference everyone else has gathered. Please add anything you find to this thread, so we can all partake in the awesomeness :^D
I worked with Jack Thornton a while back and he’s a bloody magician with liquids.
He’s got an old blog where he describes how he apporaches things. It hasn’t been updated in a while but it goes all the way back to some of the effects he handanimated on Mulan. Well worth a read.
