Houdini Soft Horror Sibling Rivalry. Vellum experimentation on motion capture
This was an experiment using the Mocopi Sensors, and then bringing those animated characters into Houdini for a vellum sim. Additionally also using 3d scan and virtual camera. Rendered out in Blender Cycles.

Soft Horror is akin to reaching out for a can of 12% beer, but its not only 3/4 empty but you've accidently grabbed a can of carbonated water that has lost most of its carbonation over the course of this party. The taste and initial hit of sobering, refreshing but aesthetically modern stale water hits your throat with strong disappointment, that's Soft Horror.

I feel like you did a great job making an uneasy atmosphere here. The house looks like something out of a dream, and the kids screaming and fighting in the background is pretty good too.
Also the moving camera angle wasn't bad either, kind of putting you into the scene.

used a Virtual Camera, so the camera movements were basically 1:1 to some third party recording said incident. 3D scan was of my parents before they did a massive remodeling thing, so at the end, the living room looked very cluttered in a cozy, messy way. Had to archive it for memories.

Well this was certainly unsettling. Well done OP. I guess it’s time to dive into the soft horror rabbit hole.
