#Stranger things season 3 full#

During that same period, our team came up with a full CG test using our temp assets and the result was very successful and proved to be the way to go for the final episode. A few on set tests showed that exposure, size, timing and positioning were nearly impossible to control in any efficient way. The other main VFX topic was about the fireworks for the Starcourt battle, wondering if there was any practical options to it or if it would have to be full CG.

The initial creative discussions we had were about the many inspirations from the 80вЂ™s and some iconic shots from the movie THE THING (original version) and how we could bring that practical slimy wet look into a massive volume of CG monster shots. They were looking to raise the bar to another level for Season 3. What were their expectations and approach about the visual effects? The whole process has been a pretty smooth ride considering the complexity of the workload. As for Paul Graff, he is not only a knowledgeable VFX sup but he is also well aware of the Stranger Things world and intricacies. They have a clear idea of what they want and expect but they also are very open minded throughout the creative process. The Duffer Brothers are genuinely smart and enthusiastic, they are both a perfect blend of cool and clever. How was the collaboration with the Duffer Brothers and Overall VFX Supervisor Paul Graff?ДЄ very fun and exhilarating ride from day 1, right up to the end. What we didnвЂ™t expect was to end up as main vendor! The meeting ended with Paul telling us we were вЂcool guysвЂ™ and that he would like to have us on board for Season 3. We spent a fun hour talking about history, technology and a little bit about the first two seasons of STRANGER THINGS. It all started with a casual meeting with Overall VFX Supervisor Paul Graff, Rodeo FX VP Development and Technology Jordan Soles and myself at our Rodeo FX LA studio. How did you and Rodeo FX get involved on this show? As a VFX Supervisor, he took care of the effects of projects such as FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, DEATH WISH, KRYPTON and THE WALKING DEAD. He joined Rodeo FX in 2014 and became the Head of Studio for their Quebec City office. In 2012, Martin Pelletier explained the work of Modus FX on MIRROR MIRROR.
