Congratulations to Poor Things – Simon Hughes – who won SPECIAL VISUAL EFFECTS. Holding out The Creator, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One and Napoleon.
Listen to our fxpodcast discussing Poor Things with Simon about the film’s visual effects at Union VFX , including working with miniatures, LED volumes, and how to fit the neck of a goose onto the body of a goat (or the head of a pig on the body of a chicken!).
Poor Things tells the story of a woman brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist. She runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. As she is free from the normal societal prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
