Cool Visual Effects Reel for THE GREAT GATSBY

Check out this fantastic behind the scenes video reel from Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, featuring some before and after special effects work done on the film. The Great Gatsby was a visually stunning film, and it's awesome to see how they brought this 1920s world to life on the big screen. This video comes from VFX supervisor Chris Godfrey, and here's a note that came along with it.

Baz has graciously agreed to let us release this 'before and afters' reel to show our peer group the VFX work completed on his film 'The Great Gatsby'. While this specific reel was the work of Animal Logic (as my primary vendor), in total I worked with 7 vendors including Animal Logic, Rising Sun and Iloura in Australia, ILM in San Francisco and also Prime Focus and Method Vancouver. We also ran an amazing internal SWAT team that completed over 400 shots. Congratulations to all who did such fabulous work on almost 1500 shots.
