This week was the 20th anniversary of Roland Emmerich’s The Day After Tomorrow. I featured that film in Masters of FX with VFX supe Karen Goulekas. Now, just for Hi VFX RETRO EXCLUSIVES Patreons, I have a snippet of my audio chat with Karen for the book just about the film. It’s a fun chat about water, twisters, ice and the art of previs and simulations back then. Plus, how stock footage became the ultimate reference. And a fun anecdote about the opening flyover of the ice and its use in an Al Gore film.
