Making Of:
“Moving Picture Company” started with a CG pre-vis of each scene, using a scale model of the abandoned Toryglen Estate in Glasgow, to plan out all the explosions and camera positions and help determine which fi reworks would be practical and which would be CG. Next was a comprehensive ‘look development’ process with MPC’s team working with the practical effects department of Santa Monica’s Asylum to develop CG versions of the various paint fireworks. MPC supervisors fed information from the two week shoot (manned by a crew of 250).
Back to the MPC studio in London where CG artists used Scanline AG’s ‘Flowline’ fluid simulation software to match the live action explosions. After the shoot, the MPC compositing team removed the array of barrels, rigs, cranes and tarpaulins required to shoot the exploding paint as well as the crowds that gathered to watch. The vfx team used a secondary day and a half at Pinewood Studios to capture more exploding paint elements to augment the primary live action and CG paint. Total post schedule: five months.
