The world of ancient Rome unfolds before our eyes as the Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Framestore visual effects team peels back the magic behind Gladiator II. With Ridley Scott directing, the ILM team had crafted a breathtakingly stunning visual work in which technology, at its finest edge, and rich history, both of the Roman Empire, intertwined. From huge battle sequences to close-up moments of betrayal, the work that ILM has done is pivotal in bringing Gladiator II to life. The team worked with a mix of digital and practical effects to enhance the film’s epic scope, staying closely tied to the visual language of the original while also pushing the limits of what modern VFX can do. This is a unique behind-the-scene look about the artistry and innovation that come with technical mastery in creating some of the biggest films of this year.
Great work. How do I learn that? I’m interested in it.
