The director wanted the smoke, emitted from the trains of the time, to feel almost like a character in the film. ILM provided this cover shot that features stars Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer with a completely-CG environment behind them. Turn to page 12 for complete coverage. London's MPC also provided shots for the film, see page 2 for details on their work. • CGtechniquesforPacific Rim's monsters • Getschooledonthelatestanimation techniquesforMonsters University • Highframerateunplugged www.postmagazine.com Post • July 2013 1
