In addition to creating a full CG character from scratch for 2016’s Ghostbusters, ZERO also delivered a variety of other high-end effects across the film.
ZERO worked to replicate the look of the original films’ proton packs and proton streams in CG, create the resulting and destructive FX caused by the proton streams, implement dust and other environmental details, and remove wires from actress, Melissa McCarthy. You can also see our detailed set extension work across the iconic Manhattan skyline and many other locations throughout the movie!
