Michael Gracey’s Better Man brought larger-than-life moments to the screen, showcasing Wētā FX‘s exceptional mastery of effects simulations. Among the standout sequences was an awe-inspiring scene where 85,000 CG gumballs cascaded across London’s Regent Street, delivering a vivid and chaotic visual spectacle.
Another gripping moment featured a frantic car ride culminating in a gravity-defying splashdown. This complex sequence seamlessly blended water, air, and blood simulations, challenging Wētā FX’s artists to push the boundaries of realism and storytelling.
From detailed gumball physics to the visceral intensity of fluid dynamics, these simulations exemplify the studio’s commitment to elevating cinematic storytelling through cutting-edge visual effects.
