4 hours of stuffies discussion (just kidding).
This week on VFX Notes with Hugo Guerra and Ian Failes, we’re looking at the stunning C-17 / car / skydiving sequence in Uncharted, featuring Tom Holland. An array of bluescreen shooting, wire work, robot arms, and even a bluescreen car stuffy, were used. VFX were crafted by DNEG.
Check out the previous befores & afters coverage of the sequence, too.
