It was from the legend Ridley Scott, and here continues the iconic saga of power, vengeance, and intrigue in Ancient Rome, with modern filmmaking techniques. Crucial to Scott’s ambitious vision was Framestore, which contributed 136 epic shots that rewrote the spectacle of gladiatorial combat.
Led by VFX Supervisor Christian Kaestner and VFX Producer Jeanne-Elise Prevost, Framestore’s skilled crew designed several of the movie’s most unforgettable scenes. Whether a baboon riot smeared with blood or a fierce fight with a rhino, or an otherworldly, eerie environment along the River Styx, each scene was painstakingly conceived in cutting-edge visual effects. Postvis by the FPS team led by Visualization Supervisor Darrin Hofmeyr helped give form to these pulse-pounding scenes.
Through seamlessly blending innovative VFX with Scott’s visionary storytelling, Framestore transformed bold concepts into breathtaking cinematic experiences, thereby delivering a worthy continuation of the Gladiator legacy.
