The idea for the story began when I wanted to create a short film which combines live action and 3d object. But it will be difficult and complicated when come to its detail parts where require me to pay particular attention to the position, perspective and size of the object when the view is moving. So I simplified the idea to make special effect instead of 3d object. It is much easier because they are 'random', so that audience won't notice its actual shape, size or position if I'm not do it correctly. Soon after that I came out with the idea to make a simple fighting scene with 'DragonBall' style.

 

They're fighting... for a locker

 

About the story, 'Fight for a Locker' that run about 2 minutes was actually my experimental short film before I use the technique into what I really wanted to create next time. No script, no planning for the actions and I just asked my two room mates to act in front of the camera immediately when the idea came. During that time, we also didn't plan the reason of their fighting. I got that during compositing work when I noticed one of the actors standing near the locker and immediately I said 'Yeah, fight for a locker!'

 

Most of the special effects used in the movie were particle system provided in 3dsmax and glow effect was added to make it more realistic.
