The Industry is excited to announce that we’re hosting a free virtual panel with the Oscar-nominated VFX and SFX team behind Apple’s F1 starring Brad Pitt.
Just like an F1 race, this happened pretty quickly, and the event is today, this afternoon.
In this live panel, we will discuss…
How they put Brad Pitt in the center of the F1 action, blending Pitt’s real stunt driving footage with live broadcast video of F1 racing.
How they shot that wild, violent car crash scene, for real.
Why they avoided virtual production and leaned on real locations.
This Oscar-nominated team created one of the most visceral sports films ever using cutting-edge camera tech, Terrestrial LiDAR scans, reskinning, and so much more.
If you are working in VFX, SFX, and even editing or directing, understanding how these four created a beautiful and meticulous intensity in F1 is essential to your craft.
All 4 of our panelists are Oscar-nominated.
