“Our central task as a feature film visual effects house is to integrate effects in as seamless a way as possible” said Shawn Walsh (Visual Effects Executive Producer), “which presented a key challenge for us with such a stylized film and took some very careful compositing and color management to achieve.” Image Engine’s crew drew heavily on their artistic capabilities to realize this creative vision within a photo-real digital environment. Under the direction of Tarsem Singh the film had a uniquely rich and painterly visual style. Work began with Simon Hughes (Visual Effects Supervisor) providing on-set supervision in Montréal, and entailed well over a year of dedication from the Image Engine crew. Image Engine was awarded the work on Immortals in the Spring of 2010. The project represents the largest digital environment build to have taken place at Image Engine to date. The film tells the story of Theseus (Henry Cavill), whose destiny is to save his people from the evil King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his bloodthirsty army. Image Engine provided over 130 visual effects shots for Immortals (2011), the epic mythological tale from the producers of ‘300’, directed by Tarsem Singh ( The Fall, The Cell).
