STILL – A Michael J. Fox Movie – Trailer

Tuesday | 2023 04 18 |

The film, which will incorporate documentary, archival and scripted elements, will recount Fox’s extraordinary story in his own words — the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood. The account of Fox’s public life, full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss, will unspool alongside his never-before-seen private journey, including the years that followed his diagnosis, at 29, with Parkinson’s disease. Intimate and honest, and produced with unprecedented access to Fox and his family, the film will chronicle Fox’s personal and professional triumphs and travails and will explore what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. With a mix of adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film will feel like … well, like a Michael J. Fox movie.

She-Hulk – Attorney at Law – Digital Domain

Tuesday | 2022 12 20 |

To realize 43 minutes of screen time for Marvel Studios’ latest superhero, She-Hulk, Digital Domain VFX Supervisor Jan Philip Cramer and his outstanding team of artists sought inspiration in the technology used to create everyone’s favorite villain, Thanos. Building on that same technology, the Digital Domain team successfully transformed the 5’4” Tatiana Maslany into a 6’7” green giant, without sacrificing the nuance of the Emmy-winner’s performance.

In addition to utilizing the studios proprietary tools, Masquerade 2.0 and Charlatan, to bring She-Hulk to life, DD also worked on several other visual effects sequences throughout the series while introducing new systems. The team developed a ShapeWear system that allowed the superhero’s attire to accurately adjust to the character model, while subtly and realistically augmenting the muscles to match. This can be seen throughout the series and most notably in the dance scene with Megan the Stallion.

The team also created CG droid K.E.V.I.N., which was meant as an homage to Marvel Studios mastermind, Kevin Feige, and much more! In total, Digital Domain contributed nearly 1,000 VFX shots to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, including 660 shots of She-Hulk alone

HALO – Season 1 – Rodeo FX

Friday | 2022 09 09 |

Halo was a challenge on several levels for the team: it was our first collaboration between Rodeo and Paramount+; taking on a highly anticipated video game adaptation that many fans had been asking for; and finally, we were tasked with creating environments that were going to surround the characters throughout the entire season, and beyond. The stakes were high, and the final results speak for themselves.

We started the adventure nearly 3 years ago with different tests right before the pandemic hit. As production resumed, our team went back to it and started the meticulous work of adapting a gigantic base of concept art references. While some locations were taken straight from the game, some were altered to better reflect the show’s vision.

From Reach City to Oban (Garbage City), Eridanus to Madrigal Outpost, join us on a deep journey through space as we look at the work done on season one of Halo.

Additionally, Aladino and his team were responsible for the fight sequence in the final episode. For this sequence, the team developed the look for Kamran’s damaging powers, Ms. Marvel’s giant, hard-light hands, digital debris, partial digidoubles of Kamran and Ms. Marvel, and more.

An untimely death in the community sets off a chain of tension-filled events, and seemingly small-town, soil-bound troubles come to a head with the arrival of a mysterious black void in the Abbotts’ west pasture.
