Also this Sunday we focused on VFX in recently released movies. This time portal Art of VFX made an interview with Eric Robinson, who is a product manager in Mr. X and asked him about part of Mr. X on Three Musketeers. Robinson`s team (100 peoples) was responsible for creating seamless set extensions and entirely digital environments., e.g. the Notre Dame roof fight sequence. Especially for this sequence team created a CG replica of Notre Dame and the surrounding 360 degrees vantage point of Paris below.
