Double Negative

The industry is full of talented houses making visual effects for films. One which I saw at the Bradford Animation Festival is Double Negative, who have worked on Total Recall and Harry Potter.

At the festival they showcased some of the software that they used and they worked in so much detail with large cities. They explained that it was important to show imperfections so it can mirror real life: never have straight lines and warp reflections in odd ways.

The effects they do is brilliant and work perfectly for bombastic scenes and huge vistas. It is also impressive how well they can merge live action scenes with CGI to enhance the scene.
