    VIDEO: Light Iron Traces Post Production of Ender’s Game

    Case Study: Ender’s Game from Light Iron on Vimeo.

     

    Post production company Light Iron has released a video demonstrating how they organize the postproduction workflow of Hollywood movies, using Ender’s Game as an example. The video focuses on digitalization and color manipulation, but includes general info on other parts of production and post production (such as the filming venue, cameras, audio storage etc.) as well. It’s longish and you certainly need to know quite a bit about movie technology to understand it all but the vid offers a few new behind-the-scenes images, hi-res versions of some scenes only seen in the movie so far, and a good insight into the creation of the beautiful look and color scheme of the movie. The Ender’s Game part starts around the 3.10 minute mark.

    VIDEO: Producer Ed Ulbrich Talks Ender’s Game

    Listen to Ender’s Game producer Ed Ulbrich talk about conceiving of and building the “Enderverse”, the visuals and the moral messages of the movie!

    Ed Ulbrich has been involved in such visually stunning movies as We Own the Night (2007) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008). After stepping down as CEO of Digital Domain in July, Ed Ulbrich remained a producer on Ender’s Game. According to our own Crystal, the backdrop and the traffic sounds in the background suggest that this may have been recorded during San Diego Comic Con earlier this year.

  • 60% of ‘Ender’s Game’ to Feature Visual Effects

    60% of ‘Ender’s Game’ to Feature Visual Effects

    As is to be expected with a movie set in space with aliens and children flying in zero gravity, a large part of Ender’s Game will feature visual effects. According to a recent China Daily article, over half the movie will feature special effects to be worked on by Galloping Horse, the company that recently acquired Digital Domain.

    About 60 percent of the film, focusing on conflicts between humankind and aliens in the Earth’s future, features special visual effects, according to Ivy Zhong, vice-chairperson of Galloping Horse.

    Digital Domain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September and sold off their projects, which hopefully won’t delay post-production too much, since Ender’s Game will be the first project the two companies focus on. The need for that much special effects certainly makes the delay in the movie’s release look like a very good thing.
