jan 18, 2019 - Johnny Depp FB2: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD Coming to Digital Case Study

Description:

Case Study

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
For visual effects artists, it can be a dream to work on a project that can really capitalise on all their skills. That’s exactly what the dramatic opening sequence of Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the latest in the Wizarding World and Harry Potter series of films, represented to the artists at Image Engine.

Set in a stormy 1927 New York, the opener sees dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) being transported from the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA) building across the city aboard a flying carriage pulled by winged Thestrals and accompanied by broom-riders, before he makes a daring escape. With period city views, a flying carriage, broom-riders and creatures, rain and water simulations, and even a character transformation, Image Engine had its work cut out to complete the entire sequence.
