#World war z zombies portable
The team used a portable V CAM System on set to imagine scenes, also relying on mocap, virtual camera, MotionBuilder and Maya for previs and postvis work. Halon served as one of the main previs providers for World War Z, under the supervision of Previs Director Daniel Gregoire and supervisor Bradley Alexander. So that ended up becoming something we did in CG.”
But then we realized – if a stunt person does that, they’ll be dead. We thought zombies wouldn’t care about that – they’d basically care about getting the bite in. “The interesting thing about when humans leap is,” notes Johnson, “there’s always some element of self-preservation however hard they’re going in – a tendency to go in with your arms or protect your head. Cinesite looked to reference from videos of attack dogs that would go straight fro the throat, and also sporting events such as rugby and NFL players for how humans leap. Zombie actors were utilized on set in Glasgow and then highly supplemented with digital counterparts. Zombies in PhillyĪs Gerry and his family retreat to the street, they see the zombies begin to attack others, and for the effects of their bite to take only seconds. So the final shot was made up a greenscreen plate of Brad Pitt, four plates combined for the garbage truck (with a CG replacement for its front section that has been shot with a ‘cattle catcher’), a policeman element, a dummy/mannequin element, background buildings, and a windscreen raindrop element “because I got obsessed with raindrops on windows,” admits Johnson. We couldn’t do this on this show because we had to shoot the plates the same time we were shooting the vehicle.” “So what we had to do was work out a way to make this possible, because normally when you do plates like this you have a tracking vehicle and use say camera arrays. “Simon Crane, the second unit director, wanted to do both the stunts and shoot the plates at the same time,” says Cinesite visual effects supervisor Matt Johnson. For the garbage truck shot, which is seen from inside Gerry’s Volvo and follows the truck as it ploughs through the cars, multiple plates came together to complete the startling scene. Scenes set in Philadelphia were filmed in Glasgow, Scotland. The garbage truck A garbage truck slams through traffic. Cinesite handled effects for these sequences. Gerry then begins a worldwide journey, starting in Korea, to look for the source of the zombie outbreak. Escaping to a New Jersey rooftop, Gerry and his family are dramatically rescued by helicopter and taken to a flotilla of vessels off the coast, as cities burn and many more people are attacked and become zombies.
Gerry catches a glimpse of strange behavior as hordes of people escape what seem to be other crazed humans – soon revealed as zombies whose bites pass on these same characteristics. Suddenly a large garbage truck takes out a police motorcyclist and the many cars around him. World War Z begins in Philadelphia where former United Nations worker Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is stuck in heavy traffic. – See how MPC created the digital zombies for the dramatic Jerusalem sequence, in this exclusive video from our media partners at WIRED. Scanning, 3D data capture and modelling: 2h3D and 4DMax We sat down with four of the show’s vendors to discuss their key contributions:ģ. A swathe of visual effects artists, led by effects supervisor Scott Farrar, helped realize the undead. Marc Forster’s World War Z may have had a slightly turbulent trip to the big screen – it’s third act was re-worked at high cost – but the benefits have been clear, with a successful opening weekend and praise as a new kind of zombie film.
