Ian Failes, reporting for fxguide
In this article, brought together from interviews by Mike Seymour and Ian Failes, fxguide delves into the effects work with the key players, including Stammers who was the overall visual effects supervisor and aided on the production by VFX shoot supervisor Matt Sloan. MPC handled Mars surface shots, Framestore worked on the space sequences and The Senate was responsible for NASA scenes and earth-bound shots. Previs was delivered by Argon, with The Third Floor contributing techvis and simulcam solutions. Territory Studio produced hundreds of on-set monitor animations for playback. ILM, Atomic Arts and Milk VFX also came on board to complete the film’s visual effects.
An incredible in-depth analysis of the wizardry behind the spectacular effects of The Martian. Combine this article with the video I posted the other day, and you now know more about The Martian that you probably wish you had.
