I must confess that both of these words gave me a lot of trouble. I didn't have good ideas for either one of these words for the longest time. I did manage to pull things together at the last minute, however, that I am decently happy with.
Word: Whistle
The concept I finally came up with was an homage to a trope from old style cartoons where a very angry character would steam from the ears.
Since anger was involved, Hulk was the obvious choice as a model.
To get the steam effect I used a can of air, and turned it upside down, then shot it lit with some Lume Cubes against a black background, then comp'd them into the image. Note: if you try this, the air from an upside down can of compressed air gets super cold.
As a final touch I added a bit of red colour to the sides of Hulks face to sell the flushed skin angry look.
Word: Xylophone
The idea that finally sprung to mind after several brainstorming sessions was the Michael Jackson Billy Jean video, where the sidewalk lights up where Michael steps on them.
I grabbed a xylophone image from Pixel Squid, and copied it a couple times to` create a sidewalk. Then I grabbed my Baby Groot figure, as he is famous for dancing, and has that happy expression on his face, and shot him in my lightbox. Then I merged the two together, and tossed in some light effects, and some light leak textures.
The final result makes me smile.
So thats the end of my deep dive images. I'll see you after the next round!
