The Oscar-winning talent behind Life of Pi breathed life into Godzilla - this is how.
MPC has released an exclusive breakdown of the work behind key scenes in the film Godzilla, available on DVD now.
The four-minute video plays sequences of the film – including Godzilla battling a winged nasty in a mashed up city – then freezes on a single shot to unravel the modelling, rigging, texturing and light effects behind it, giving a fascinating insight into the creative process behind the movie's astonishing effects.
The breakdown of Godzilla's VFX work is the latest in a series for MPC that includes Prometheus and X-Men: Days of Future Past.
