With the characters blue flames I thought It'd be great to add some smoke effects using smoke cakes, see some more behind the scenes videos below of the smoke. I used a higher aperture with low exposure to capture the model alone and the smoke lit up with a simple handheld ring light. Using a smoke brush preset in Photoshop I was able to sample colours from the real smoke and make it look more intense and even add new trails.
