Project 3 Proposal
Background
For the background, I will be using a plate that I shot over the weekend. It will need camera tracking after one is approved. I wanted a grungy feel to it if I were to do the venom like animation.
Out of the takes that we got, these were the best ones, in my opinion, from each location.

Comment: I think I like the lighting here the most for the concept I am going with, but I am open to some options.

Hall Ver.
These are more takes that could be considered as options. For each of the locations I have an HDRI and the gray ball.

Animation
For the animation, I wanted to use this venom engulfing fx courtesy of this tutorial.
The only thing I am missing is a possible model and animation to use along with it. I can simulate the slime, but I may have to retouch some textures in the model that I use. I may try to use a more simple model to make the timeline more doable.
I did a test over the weekend to make sure the slime itself would not take the majority of the time as I wanted to focus on integration and it seems reasonable to do with another model and rig. In terms of the rig of the person, there are Houdini crown rigs that I could use or I could get some with mixamo and explore those options.
Here are some rig options
Possible model and animation through mixamo

Here is a slap comp of the concept I am going for
