Rodeo FX is thrilled to present some of the stunning VFX work created for Robert Zemeckis’ The Walk. Our team delivered more than 100 visual effects shots, including CG reconstructions of the towering World Trade Center and other scenes from 1970s New York.
Robert Zemeckis’s film “The Walk” takes audiences back some 40 years, when New York was gritty and the World Trade Center was new. Visual effects supervisor Kevin Baillie joined Variety’s David Cohen to reveal how his team made star Joseph GordonLevitt look like an expert wirewalker and how they brought to live one of the film’s major characters: The Twin Towers themselves.
