‘The Creator’ director Gareth Edwards and ILM visual effects supervisor Jay Cooper sit down with befores & afters.
Gareth Edwards’ The Creator is nominated for Best Visual Effects at the upcoming Academy Awards (the nominees are Jay Cooper, Ian Comley, Andrew Roberts and Neil Corbould).
To hear more on the film–and its somewhat unique approach to filming and VFX–befores & afters got the chance to sit down with Edwards and ILM’s Cooper in a new video interview.
In it, we discuss the film’s VFX tests (including which ones made it into the final film), deciding which actors would become robots after shooting, crafting simulants, shooting with the virtual camera, and filming on ILM’s StageCraft LED stage. Plus Edwards and Cooper chat about HDRIs, specific scenes and where the NOMAD scanning look came from.
Check out the full video, below.
