Gold within
I came across a series of photos showing shattered marble statues filled with gold, and they immediately caught my attention. Inspired by those visuals, I started this project as one of my first attempts at creating an animation, exploring the contrast between fragility and strength through material and light.
Process
First, I added the marble Apollo head and created a shattering animation to bring it to life. Once the effect worked as intended, I introduced a second Apollo statue this time made of gold to appear from within the broken marble.
Next, I refined the lighting and camera movement, setting up a sequence where the marble statue shatters, the gold figure rotates, and the camera dynamically moves in and out to emphasize the transformation.
