‘Speed’ is 30, and VFX Notes is 3! Come celebrate with us!

June 11, 2024

A brand new episode of VFX Notes looks at ‘the bus movie’.

A huge thanks to everyone out there for watching VFX Notes. Today we’re celebrating our third anniversary! And to celebrate, we’re releasing this special episode on Speed, which is itself celebrating its 30th anniversary! In this episode, we do a deep dive on all the different effects methodologies used on the film: practical effects, miniatures, digital visual effects and even rear projection.

Many of you might know I’m a Speed fanatic, so I’m very thankful to Hugo for coming along on this ride. Hope you enjoy the ep! We talk about and show so much.
