Assignment 5: Still Life

Avi Bagla: Rotate

The Issue with the caustics requirement was that caustics look really boring when frozen (to me). I love moving light, it looks much cooler. So I decided to submit a GIF (which I hope is okay). It reminds me of a sundial throughout the day.

I took this shot by taking a video of the scene and then moving a flashlight on the plane directly behind the water bottle. It created a shifting scene of light because I also half filled the bottle with water - so the imperfections in the old bottle and the water created this really cool rotating light.
