The sequel gets an early release in the UK on Sky Store. It’ll cost you £15.99, a small price to pay for a show featuring large-scale, outstanding VFX by our talented colleagues.
WandaVision
Marvel’s new nine-ep show that brings the MCU to the small screen kicks off from today with the first two episodes available on Disney+. The series follows Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany’s Vision living out an absurd suburban life in an alternate universe. Watch out for some colourful effects from the NY team.
Samsung – Galaxy Buds Pro
Available from today, the team from NY created a CG demo that visualised the groundbreaking technology contained within the buds, built a spaceship, and did a whole lotta invisible clean up and screen composites.
Jaguar Land Rover – Photographer
Senior Flame Artist, Paul O’Brien (LDN) and the Framestore team delivered seamless VFX to highlight the beauty of the new Jag. The invisible VFX is coupled with a rich colour grade for ‘Photographer’, the first film in a new campaign for the latest Jaguar F-Pace.
