ILM speaks on Battleship: “the bar has been raised” for visual effects
Expanding on what we learned earlier this week from NVIDIA’s talk with effects group ILM, Visual Effect Supervisor Pablo Helman let us know that their work on the film Battleship‘s effects and production took place on a global scale.

ILM artists and crew worked from different parts of the Earth all at once – this dramatically decreasing the amount of time it took to create such a giant vision as this blockbuster film, Helmen letting us know that the film industry world in recent years has certainly “become a lot smaller” in many ways.
