VFX Breakdown by MPC Episodic: The Third Day

About this event

In this presentation MPC Episodic Executive VFX Supervisor Pete Jopling, VFX Supervisor Oliver Winwood and 2D Supervisor Izet Buco will reveal their compositing work on Sky / HBO’s The Third Day. The presentation will cover the creative and technical achievement behind the Locust swarm scene, in which a swarm of 50 million locusts swarm over Osea covering the entire Island and beyond. As well as creating this crowd of bugs the scene also required a complex stitch to seamlessly blend two very different environment plates together.

Join this session to see how the MPC Episodic team made these scene come to life and participate in the live Q&A with the speakers.
