Behind the Magic: The Visual Effects of "The Lone Ranger"

We are proud to present this video which showcases some of ILM's effects work for Gore Verbinski's "The Lone Ranger". This reel represents the work over 170 ILM artists, scientists, and engineers backed up by a world class production team.
We hope you enjoy it.

I really wanna talk to the guy who hit the 'dislike' button and have him explain me his opinion. I really really wanna hear what he has to say!

[@vladbogachov0201]

probably "did it for lulz"

[@KarasuNoGoh]

My guess is he didn't like the movie and he can't dissociate the amazing work ILM put into these visuals from the movie itself.

[@Touchgrassplz]

Because of ILM, i don't know what is real anymore!

[@XtaXCraft]

The music on background is just awesome!

[@pjp100]

Flawless. Merry Christmas ILM!

[@MightySavagE]

An excellent job again by ILM. Regardless of what the quality of the rest of the movie is, ILM will not falter.

Nice, Are there more breakdowns for films from 2013 coming?

Nope, actually seven companies in five countries executed the work: Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in San Francisco, Vancouver and Singapore, Rodeo and Hybride in Quebec, Ghost in Copenhagen, BaseFX in Beijing, Virtuous in Shanghai, and Mirada in Los Angeles.
