We were hired to provide motion control services on this international feature film. Julian Hermannsen operated the Milo, the Talos motion control rig as well as the Modula system as a model mover.
As part of the vfx Unit (UK), we worked on a few special shots. Several shots were shot with the Talos on a miniature set tilted 90 degrees and a 'star' rigged on the Modula used as a model mover. We also shot separate light and fog layers. Another key shot in the film we were involved in was the transformation of a character from a dragon in the air and lands on the ground. For this shot we shot the ground parts with the Talos on a miniature set including wind and other sfx. We then scaled the move up for the actor, who was filmed at a different speed with the Milo in front of bluescreen (additional photography unit in Pinewood).
