What we did

Jonathan worked as VFX supervisor for this feature from director David Gordon Green. David and Jonathan collaborated closely on set to determine ways that visual effects could help add drama to the film. Mocking up examples on set of the digital cliff environment for the road of death scene gave David the confidence that his location would work. Other visual effects included CG crowds and a three minute long greenscreen bus chase sequence. There were over 200 visual effects shots on this film.
