New Robot BTS 🦾🦾

One of the things I enjoy most about practical effects work is engineering a shot through iteration. Every take becomes another opportunity to make a small timing adjustment, moving the robot a little earlier or later, or adjusting the timing of an event (such as a powder paint explosion 💥🎨), until everything comes together exactly as envisioned. It’s incredible how a fraction of a second can completely change the final result.

In this case, the powder paint was actually blasted toward the glass letters. The finished spot would then be played in reverse, turning the explosion into an implosion that reveals the word EPIC. Knowing the shot would ultimately be seen backwards meant every timing adjustment had to be made with the final reversed motion in mind.

Another fun project with the @1983creative team and @drew__lauer. Thanks, Drew, for always thinking of me when it comes to helping engineer shots like these. They’re consistently some of my favorite projects to be a part of.

Now playing as the latest theatrical pre show brand film from @barco.cinema and @vue. 🦾🦾🦾
