Mike Seymour, Matt Wallin and Mat Graham look at the latest X-Men film, X-Men First Class.
Ian Failes has an in-depth article covering the effect work done for the film’s major characters in this article on fxguide.
We also have extended coverage in this fxinsider interview about the 1100 shots John Dykstra supervised for the film, the effects design and his approach to grounding those effects in a mutant reality.
Please note in the show we mention that MPC Vancouver was responsible for the yacht destruction. However, that work was predominantly carried out by MPC London.
