In this episode of Art of the Frame, we delve into the visual and special effects in Ridley Scott's latest epic, "Napoleon". The podcast explores the remarkable efforts of the effects teams to vividly recreate 19th century Europe and its battlefields, bringing historical grandeur to life with striking authenticity. Our journey takes us behind the scenes to understand the complexities and challenges faced in visualizing one of history's most iconic eras, especially in the portrayal of monumental battles like Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Our resident VFX supe Damian Allen engages in conversation with four supervisors of the film's visual and special effects: Visual Effects supervisor Charley Henley, special effects supervisor Neil Corbould, Luc-Ewen Martin-Fenouillet (a visual effects supervisor at MPC), and Simone Coco, (a visual effects supervisor at Disney’s ILM), discuss how their teams helped transport Napoleon and his era onto the screen for a 21st century audience.
