“The Dog Stars” is now in cinemas.
Our team at Frame VFX handled the previs work for the Commerce City sequence.
Thanks to the use of photogrammetry, the team recreated in Unreal Engine a faithful reconstruction of the film location in Avezzano, Italy, ahead of the shoot, helping the director and production team map out complex sequences, plan logistics on location, and execute every shot with precision.
Great to see how those early visual blueprints translated onto the set and final pictures.
