So let’s see a show of hands for those who loves the movie “The Great Gatsby”!
Floating on the social media sites is a ‘before and after’ reel of the movie which was recently released by the VFX (Visual Effects) supervisors of the film. What is seen is the primary reel for VFX studio Animal Logic, one of the many VFX studios that were involved in the making of the film.
Daunting over 1500 shots, the visual interpretations of the feature film shows you just how much goes into making your movies real!
The video was released on Vimeo, with the note:
My name is Chris Godfrey and I was the VFX supervisor on the film.
Baz has graciously agreed to let us release this ‘before and afters’ reel to show our peer group the VFX work completed on his film ‘The Great Gatsby’. While this specific reel was the work of Animal Logic (as my primary vendor), in total I worked with 7 vendors including Animal Logic, Rising Sun and Iloura in Australia, ILM in San Francisco and also Prime Focus and Method Vancouver. We also ran an amazing internal SWAT team that completed over 400 shots. Congratulations to all who did such fabulous work on almost 1500 shots and especially to Andy Brown from Animal Logic who put this sequence together.
Many thanks to Baz, CM, Catherine Knapman, Chris DeFaria and Mark Brown – and of course Prue Fletcher and Joyce Cox.
