Looking at how CGI, stunts and practical effects blend together.
Hugo Guerra and Ian Failes are back with a brand new episode of VFX Notes, looking at the work in Extraction and Extraction 2.
We delve into the incredible oners in these films, including the choreography, SFX, stunts and VFX involved in both. Plus we give props to the amazing cinematography in the movies, and the invisible visual effects work.
And do we talk about the anti-CGI stuff going on right now? Yes, we do.
