Tron Legacy fact: Visual Effects

Tron Legacy fact #6

Digital Domain created the younger looking Jeff Bridges avatar.  Digital Domain is a digital production studio that is behind the visual effects on such movies as Titanic, iRobot, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and 2012.  Trust me, they were involved with a wide variety of movies that you have heard of – go to their site and click Feature Film -> The Work.  Also, click Behind the Scenes to see a number of really cool “The Making of…” shorts.

Double Negative Visual Effects

Inception is opening July 16, 2010 and one of the reasons I want to see it is because the special effects look amazing.  This company called Double Negative was involved in creating the effects for Inception and they also worked on the effects for such movies as Iron Man 2, Angels & Demons, Cloverfield, and Sherlock Holmes.

I just watched Sherlock Holmes and I thought the effects were amazing (remember that explosion? Wow!), and the visuals in the previews for Inception look pretty incredible, too.  Double Negative also worked on The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which also starts this week.

They create some pretty incredible stuff.  Here is Double Negative’s full project list and here’s a showreel of some of Double Negative’s best work. Pretty cool stuff.
