Stunning Visual Effects in ‘1917’
Stunning Visual
Effects in ‘1917’
Director Sam Mendes’ ‘1917’ takes a unique approach to telling the story of two World War I soldiers tasked with a nearly impossible mission. The film, which was shot by Roger Deakins, follows their journey across enemy lines in one long, uninterrupted camera shot, never losing sight of the subjects and never going back from where they came.
The one-shot concept that the film employs made the visual effects team rethink the way they typically work. Both Mendes and Deakins, recognized for directing and cinematography, Visual Effects Supervisor Guillaume Rocheron, along with MPC VFX Supervisor Greg Butler and Special Effects Supervisor Dominic Tuohy led the team that pulled off the feat.
MPC handled the entire workload when it came to visual effects, dividing the work between the studio’s numerous locations, including Montreal, London and Bengaluru, India.
