Using fluid shapes to create a fog like effect. Rotwang gets all the pollution from the buildings around him. In the scene where we are first introduced to Rwotangs house, it is very dark, and it looks like they've used some kind of mist in the background to fade out whats behind his house. I want to create this fog like mist around my garage to hide the buildings around him so that the audience can focus on his buildings - and I won't have to model the buildings.

To "ground" the scene I added some of the tall metal - industrial pole structures as seen in the film.

I added a thick layer of fog at the top of the beams so that when you look up from underneath it looks like the beams fade into the foggy distance.

Unfortunately maya crashed and a lot of this work was lost.
