Perhaps a major highlight in the film has been the intense car fight scene between Detective Elena Cole (Danielle Deadwyler) and Agent Alcott (Logan Marshall-Green) in Carry-On. This was beautifully done in terms of combining stunt work, meticulous choreography, and cutting-edge visual effects. The stage was shot on a bluescreen where the VFX studios came together to enhance the scene, including contributions from Barnstorm VFX, BOT VFX, Cantina Creative, Crafty Apes, El Ranchito, RISE, UPP, and Weta FX.
Under the guidance of Production VFX Supervisor Bradley Parker and Production VFX Producer Tolly Swallow, the VFX teams effortlessly integrated the actors’ performances into dynamic, high-speed action sequences. The studios worked together to create the illusion of a moving vehicle surrounded by a bustling cityscape, while enhancing every punch, kick, and crash with detailed effects.
From making reflections on the car windows to blend practical stunts with CG enhancements, it has resulted in a fight scene that is visually impressive and high octane to keep the audience sitting at the edge of their seats. This behind-the-scenes look is a testament to the artistry and precision of the VFX industry.
