Prime Focus World's film VFX work
The DVI Group — The Making of a Pan
This Month in
Wellington, New Zealand's Weta Digital (www.wetafx.co.nz)
created environments and characters for Marvel Comics' new
feature The Wolverine. This includes the snake-like Viper and the
Silver Samurai (pictured), Wolverine's nine-foot-tall adversary,
who makes use of a mechanized battle suit. A practical armature
was used on-set, which was then replaced with a swordwielding CG version. In-house shaders were used to create
compounding surface damage from fighting. For more "VFX for
Films," please turn to page 14.
