It’s part 2 of our Twister chat.
This week we got cows, debris, twisters and a lot of VFX. We wrap up our coverage of one of our favorite VFX driven action flicks of the 90s. In this part 2, we deconstruct the practical work by John Frazier and digital VFX by ILM led by Stefen Fangmeier on this groundbreaking film. This is part 2 of 2. Listen to part 1.
