- Description:
Christopher Columbus has directed Percy Jackson and the Olympians; The Lightning Thief for Twentieth Century Fox. MPC Vancouver provided a range of visual effects and post production work for 160 shots across 9 sequences for the movie. Their main areas of work involved creating Greek Gods and simulating a firey inferno. The team also replaced numerous legs for Grover the faun and Chiron the Centaur. Percy has been an interesting and challenging project; particularly in terms of the scope and variety of creatures and effects we have created explains MPC VFX Supervisor Guillaume Rocheron. Its the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jacksons Greek mythology texts and into his life. And theyre not happy: Zeus lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percys mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percys mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves. MPCs work was focused around 5 key creatures with the most challenging being Hades, a giant 12 foot tall fire demon, once the concept work was translated into a computer model, facial movement and expression became paramount.
