CG CREATURES IN ‘MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL’ – MEET VUNGUS THE UGLY
Aaron Fickling, DNEG Montreal CG Supervisor, will present our CG creature work on one of the most popular sci-fi franchises of all time: MEN IN BLACK. Find out how the DNEG crews in Vancouver and Montreal brought to life Vungus the Ugly, the main alien character in the movie. Aaron will talk about the high end facial system developed for Vungus, the full body animation and simulation work, and will go through some of the challenges the team faced for this hero character, including extreme close-ups and lip syncing.
Montreal studio General Manager, Gavin Graham said, “As the capabilities of Montreal VFX studios continue to grow, HUB Montreal will be a great opportunity for us to share some of the more complex work that the studio has been doing lately. ‘Men In Black: International’ was a great project to have worked on, and Aaron will share a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at the creature work in the film. The line-up for the festival is very exciting and forward looking. We’re excited to use HUB Montreal to continue to build relationships with other local studios and the wider creative and technical community.“
