Cool VFX

A great visual effects project is profiled on CG Society.org:

The 'Huracán' sequence was a long shot of five and a half minutes with seven hardly-discernible camera cuts. It was the first VFX shot of its kind in Argentinean cinematographic history. It was rendered in Air 8 using the Air Stream plugin as the lighting bridge between Massive and Maya. Up to 42,000 agents were rendered in a crowded stadium with a render farm that peaked at 20 workstations as the deadline approached.

The VFX crew were more than 20 artists and technicians but the main (in-house) VFX core team were only ten. All of them lead by Rodrigo S. Tomasso (VFX Designer/Supervisor) and Marcelo G. Garcia (VFX Producer). "This team did more than 108 VFX shots including the extended chase sequence of five minutes an a half with a crowded stadium made with Massive Software, Maya, Air Render and Nuke," explains Marcelo, "As VFX supervisor I spent almost eleven months from pre-production until final delivery. The main VFX team spent between seven to nine months."
