Scanline vfx did the North by Northwest sequence on Ego’s planet, including the shots within the twisting caverns. The cosmic flesh (blob) expansion montage shots both on earth as well as on various alien planets and the shots featuring the mysterious alien sprout in the opening sequence of the movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. II: Breakdown By Framestore
Rocket returned home to Framestore for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, in which our team created the look and led the animation on the wise-cracking Raccoon and that of his new sidekick: the adorable, scene-stealing Baby Groot. Happy to be back in Gunn’s wacky universe, we collaborated with VFX Supervisor Christopher Townsend to deliver over 620 shots ranging from creature work, spaceships, ‘the best opening sequence in the world’ and an exhilarating space chase across the Galaxies.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. II: Breakdown By Weta
Weta Digital referenced fractal artwork by Hal Tenny and built new workflows to create the complex core of Planet Ego. We also developed Ego’s celestial growth and regeneration as a CG Kurt Russell. Additionally, we were challenged with creating new performances for fan-favourites Groot and Rocket.
