Most of the vfx work was divided up by sequences with each house working on all the effects in their assigned, self-contained sequences, with a few notable exceptions. In total, Double Negative completed around 130 shots: more than 90 on the Knight Bus sequence, 20 on the Hogwarts Express and some more miscellaneous shots that cropped up along the way, the most notable being two floating CG lolly-pop shots.Ī 90-strong Framestore CFC team labored for 15 months to deliver more than 80 Buckbeak, the Hippogriff shots in both daylight and at night and in a variety of scenes wary, playful, resting, fighting and flying. The first shot the team did was a two-minute long steadi-cam shot in the Leaky Cauldron, where the wanted posters of Sirius Black are animated and there are reflections in mirrors and things. It felt like more because some of the shots are so long, explains Stanley-Clamp. With a team of about 100, ILM broke 200 shots with the Quidditch game, the Dementors, the Boggart and others.įrom Cinesite 167 shots made the final cut. Their contributions include the Grim a menacing photoreal CG dog, a Werewolf and a reprise of the Whomping Willow. (MPC) supplied 230 visual effects shots the highest number awarded. To create the magic for Azkaban, five different visual effects houses supplied more than 750 vfx shots. According to Simon Stanley-Clamp, vfx supervisor for Cinesite in London, He didnt want a Terminator-look. The CG not only had to be photorealistic, but also needed to behave more mechanically. The effects needed to be organic, driven by the magic.
Reportedly anti-CG going into the film, Cuarón wanted to ground this film in a reality. He was much more about subtlety, reveals Industrial Light & Magic vfx supervisor Bill George.
Most directors want if as big and spectacular as we can do it. He had a philosophy that if it looks too flashy and too much like a special effect, then it cheapens it. He just didnt want things to look fake or effectsy. The darker material, Alfonso Cuarón's direction and vfx supervision from Roger Guyett and Tim Burke drove the creative choices on this movie. This time around, a shadow is cast over Harrys third year at Hogwarts with the news that mass-murderer Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from his prison in Azkaban, apparently intent on finding and killing Harry. The highly anticipated third film in the phenomenal fantasy saga, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, features the return of the regular cast of children, teachers and guardians, as well as a number of new characters and creatures.
