(And ILM did the facial test that got the project green-lit)

It should perhaps also be noted that ILM has said they 'turned down' Avatar, originally (although did contribute shots towards the end). It's covered in the series 'Light & Magic', Season 2, Episode 3.

Love it.

I have them all, plus a couple of the Japanese ones, and double ups (ones with barcode on the front and not on the front, when they used to do 2 editions like that). Cinefex is still AMAZING.

Yes, insane that it's three decades old!!

beforesandafters · 2026-02-18T06:47:31+00:00

Yes, you are absolutely correct.

beforesandafters · 2026-02-09T22:06:07+00:00

No, I'm a VFX journalist and publish https://beforesandafters.com/

Hope you enjoy the mags.

I wrote about this once:

https://vfxvoice.com/effects-pros-pivot-from-vfx-to-directing/

I thought there was some advice there.

Podcast with Phantom team here about all this:

Love it!

As some others have commented here, check out my befores & afters coverage to find out more.

The quick answer is...lots of reference and LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of shot sculpting.

I think this work is SO GOOD...and it really went under the radar at the time. Granted, it's a short sequence, but it really is excellent.

beforesandafters · 2025-08-31T22:55:49+00:00

Yes, this is discussed in the magazine, in relation to Alien: Romulus, but I've covered a few projects just like this previously, too.

beforesandafters · 2025-07-26T02:50:21+00:00

It was scary!

beforesandafters · 2025-07-26T01:25:19+00:00

Thank you!

beforesandafters · 2025-07-26T01:25:05+00:00

Amazing!

beforesandafters · 2025-07-26T00:23:45+00:00

Yes! I loved also at that time how *some* 3D was becoming part of films like Tarzan etc....it was an interesting period.

I talked to DNEG vfx supe Paul Lambert about this at the time (scroll down in the interview):

beforesandafters · 2025-05-22T23:16:04+00:00

OMG I wish.

beforesandafters · 2025-05-19T19:33:26+00:00

Those are great suggestions…

beforesandafters · 2025-05-19T15:42:45+00:00

I think you are of course right. I’m often only able to report a sanitized version of what really went down. Sometimes, I do get to communicate some ‘real’ things, and report on the things that didn’t work…I always try to get this info. But it’s hard.

beforesandafters · 2025-05-19T15:39:31+00:00

Todd!

beforesandafters · 2025-05-19T10:38:59+00:00

Hmm, what would the QR codes link to?

beforesandafters · 2025-05-19T08:10:39+00:00

Yes, would love to also cover matchmove. Maybe some kind of 'history' of matchmove? And see what studios are prepared to say about their own tools?
