A 3D World is filmmaker Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) who used the magazine as a resource during his early days as a visual effects artist. “I was happiest as a person doing visual effects,” admits Edwards. “Making films is crazy stressful. Someone gives you tens of millions of dollars and then you have to promise to give it back as a profit a few years from now; it's quite a trick trying to pull that off.”
Streamlining the shooting process is the fact that Edwards acts as his own camera operator. “There are probably a few reasons why I like to hold the camera,” he says, “but in terms of visual effects one big reason is that in a science fiction movie, 30 per cent of what's going to be in that final shot isn't actually there.
“We've always tried to have something represent what wouldother thing as well is we wanted this thing to feel naturalistic and organic, and slightly a hybrid of a documentary meets a James Cameron movie.”
