Mike Seymour, Jason Diamond and Jeff Heusser discuss the visual effects of Martin Scorsese’s film Hugo.
As Mike mentions in the podcast we have a lot of additional coverage over at fxguide on Hugo beginning with Rob Legato joining us for a discussion of the visual effects in Hugo in this fxpodcast.
Also, we have an article written by Mike Seymour on the main fxguide site detailing the deconstruction of a signature Steadicam shot, the film’s homages, stereo workflow, including de-aging, re-graining and miniatures in stereo and the 24 hour effects cycle.
We also have the retrospective on Rob Legato over on fxguidetv #105 with part 2 available to fxinsider members.
If that wasn’t enough, we also have an fxguidetv episode coming online soon. Check back here for the link to the show once it’s released!
