VFX BREAKDOWN

Framestore

We are thrilled to share our Academy Award and BAFTA winning work on Blade Runner 2049, for which our artists crafted concept artwork used in pre-production, and delivered nearly 300 shots of VFX work in post. Tasked with the creation of large-scale CG environment builds and some challenging animation work, Framestore teamed with VFX Supervisor John Nelson to pay homage to the original picture, whilst creating an atmospheric film of the future.

VFX BREAKDOWN

MPC

Replicating Rachael for Blade Runner 2049 was both a huge honour for our artists as well as an exciting technical and creative challenge. The team lead by VFX Supervisor Richard Clegg worked closely with Director Denis Villeneuve and Production VFX Supervisor John Nelson.

VFX BREAKDOWN

Rodeo FX

Rodeo FX artists completed 75 visual effects shots on the sequel to Ridley Scott’s classic. The work was completed at the company’s Montreal and Los Angeles studios.
