Blade Runner 2049 | VFX Breakdown | Framestore

We are thrilled to share our Academy Award and BAFTA winning work on Blade Runner 2049, for which our artists crafted concept artwork used in pre-production, and delivered nearly 300 shots of VFX work in post. Tasked with the creation of large-scale CG environment builds and some challenging animation work, Framestore teamed with VFX Supervisor John Nelson to pay homage to the original picture, whilst creating an atmospheric film of the future.

[@murtog1]

All that meticulous detail that gets completely lost in the fog . . . like tears in the rain

[@SmallerLives]

:-) Good comment, but it needs to be there to get lost in the first place. If all the exteriors of the buildings were just flat and undecorated (if that is even a word) you would notice it in a heartbeat.

[@miyahtallulah]

it's how all creatives work: detail and structure, then poetry. the poetry is the light and the fog.

[@Lumibear.]

Loren Westbrook-Fritts ...and the single colour filter the equivalent of putting a Mid++ EQ across the entire track.

[@paulallen2474]

Loren Westbrook-Fritts I agree.

[@reezlaw]

I thought the same, there's probably months worth of hard work that didn't make it at all in the final composite, it's kinda heartbreaking

[@PopartFilms]

[@supersupersocco]

based on the triangulation it looks like a lot of 3d scans to me @5:21

[@karlopavicic5747]

what triangulation lol?

[@Stanlyok]

they did scan miniatures that were built for this film I think (=

[@PopartFilms]

Ah...that makes more sense

[@IagoMotaVFX]

SuperSocco It could definitely be a 3d scan, but it could also be procedurally fractured (in order to create all the cracks and imperfections) which causes those disorganized polygons.

So they modelled a whole city with a few billion polys and hid it in fog?

[@toyeadeniran6394]

Welcome to VFX haha.

[@GUMMY_MKII]

Well yes but actually no When the art director says he wants a city in fog, he doesn’t just want a city in fog, but actually a CITY in fog. In vfx, when something occludes something else, you don’t think "no one will see it anyway" because you don’t know that you see it’s missing. There’s so many details the human eye is trained to distinguish since birth that the MOMENT something isn’t right, you can’t really tell why, but it feels OFF. Since everything 3D is pretty much using raytracing, every reflection, refraction, shadow and ambient occlusion makes any object have an impact on the final result.

[@3Danimationmaster]

Once I heard that a sound designer had to create the sound of an eye blinking, which in real life doesn't make any sound at all. But when I met a sound designer he said that "if the sound is there, the viewer won't notice it. However if the sound isn't there, the viewer will notice it's not." I think it's a similar case in vfx. They created a detailed city covered in fog so the audience notices it only subconsciously, had it not been there, it would've looked noticeably poor. Good thing they won an oscar though lol

[@GUMMY_MKII]

3Danimationmaster Excellent analogy

[@cer1235]

If you notice in later shots, different parts of it are used. So basically, they created the city itself, and then were able to position the locations of the shots/fog later

Blade Runner 3D models: GPU: imma head out

[@hypeuprise7026]

Got fuck all to do with the gpu

[@NamelessNomadASMR]

Hype Uprise yeah rendering doesn’t have shit to do with graphical processing

[@hypeuprise7026]

Nameless Nomad ASMR if you for a second believe this was rendered using gpu you are living in some alternate universe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NamelessNomadASMR]

Hype Uprise really depends on the render tech but since you seem to know everything 🤷‍♂️

[@hypeuprise7026]

Nameless Nomad ASMR I am no expert but I can assure you that cpu is used most of the time for rendering in production. Gpu Tendring = vram limitations, and it would work out to be way more expensive to render using gpu. Also most of the time cpu rendering is a lot more stable (but that depends on renderer ofc)

[@Aswad99]

Oscar A. Díaz Glez. Sony did the global distribution but it is a Warner Bros. Production

[@kiribundi]

How they did it over a budget of 150 millions blows my mind. A part of me also believes that many VFX artists agreed to be paid less to achieve this immaculate masterpiece.

[@reerjgiorge]

Thats a complete lie. So you know. There are no fx in this movie worthy of that much lol. I mean, there are not even fx worthy of 1 million. People just believe everything they read / hear. Also fx in this movie are not better than 90% of the science fiction movies from today. Again, people nowadays is completely blind, unfortunately.

[@wheezybrownbear7708]

except with the majority of science fiction movies these days, the effects are very in your face and don't actually seem connected with the real characters and environments around them. just because a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy or Transformers has a bunch of big, flashy cgi action fests doesn't make it any good. movies like Blade Runner merge the effects with the real characters almost seamlessly, and never in a way where they're trying to show it off. especially in certain scenes with the hologram girl, it looks impressive and weird, but never out of place or cgi'd.

[@kiribundi]

degraded tardigrade Exactly. It's one of the rare times when I think these effects might stand the test of time

[@kabeltelevizio]

I think what George R meant was that Blade Runner was not nearly as fx heavy as Guardians of the Galaxy 2 for example.

[@aeliusdawn]

It's all because of planning.

[@ToMgRoEbE]

If this doesn't win the Oscar for best vfx I don't want to live on this planet anymore Update: it won and I'm still on this planet

[@JakeBros3]

If it loses to Planet of the Apes or SW, I'm going to lose my freaking mind. It will be the biggest example of money talking rather than who deserves it winning.

[@reerjgiorge]

Why would be winning the oscar for best vfx???? dude, are you serious? there are hundreds of movies with better fx... hahahaha. You guys are unbelievable :p, most of you really need to watch more sci fic movies, for real.

[@JakeBros3]

BR 2049 has, objectively, better VFX than almost any film released. That is objective. There have been numerous articles written on how intricate the FX work was on the Joi/K love scene with the other replicant and all of the incredible work that was done with practical FX as well as the ridiculously well done scene with Rachel. Hundreds of movies with better FX? I dare you to name 3. There is a reason BR 2049 won both Best Visual Effects and Best Cinematography at the academy awards, and it is because it has some of the best visuals of any film ever made. To say anything less just goes to show either personal bias, or genuine lack of understanding on what makes amazing visuals.

[@karlopavicic5747]

Because vfx have nothing to do with it and are actually pretty basic. It looks like this because of the cinematography and art direction.

[@PacTheOne]

you are correct.. simplicity isnt easy.. but this film was stunning in its colors and design.. the fact that it flopped financially makes me happy since it means mainstream does not understand the awesomeness of what Blade Runner truly means.. Great work to all the artist ♥

[@fm_waves218]

The fact that it flopped made you happy. Really? It should make you incredibly disappointed for all the talented and special people who worked their asses off so you could see this amazing movie. It should make you upset that a lot of people don't understand these movies or even try to understand them. This just goes to show that you like the fact that you "get it" more than you like "it."

[@meongmeong4432]

This movie brought wonder back to VFX. Even in today's age of "they can do it all with computers", so many of the scenes with Joi had me asking "how did they DO that!"

[@celphone1cellphone591]

James Cameron Avatar brought Wonder, Interstellar with it VFX did too, those space scene were CGI, Double Negative have breakdowns. Pacific Rim, Jungle Book, Avatar 2.

[@deamon548]

The level of details computerized is astonishing, huge praise to Roger Deakins (director of photography) and the whole staff responsible for the VFX.

[@axe-z8316]

Cg is directorial. bravo Villeneuve.

[@WarlordRising]

Surprised at how much of it is done practically. Very few green screens. A testament to Deakins and the miniature FX crew.

[@JakeBros3]

And Villenueve's lack of compromise. I really don't think Villenueve is getting enough credit here or in the awards. As great as Roger Deakins is, Denis directed this entire masterpiece.

[@IGameChangerI]

You realize that because there weren't green screens, al lot of this had to be rotoscoped by dozens of vfx people, right?

[@km099]

So much unnecessary roto because of small greenscreens, just look at 5:45

[@pscraft1337]

Actually it can be Luma keyed...

[@overnightclassic2]

Well not really. Whenever you have overlap of the border of a green screen and the area above it, it's often times easier just to rotoscope the whole thing because of dealing with the edge between the screen and not the screen. A lot of those scenarios with half green screens were very useless.

[@allo_es_me_sam]

Honestly visual fx and CGI intertwined with this movie perfectly.

[@davidm.johnston8994]

Very impressive work, stunning film, and I also have to say congrats to the people who broke down assets, animated cameras trough them, and edited this demo reel, because that's a lot of work that can easily go unnoticed.

[@conan_der_barbar]

They built the whole city even though it would end up being covered with dust?

[@miguelpereira9859]

Alfons Schuhbeck IKR I wish Deakins and Denis had cut down a bit on the fog in this movie, so much work from the VFX crew that you end up not seeing

[@lachlanmacarthur8992]

yes but if That detail wasn't there it would make it feel less real

It wasn't just fog and rain, it was smog and in the LV area, nuclear radiation and sand/dust.

[@lachlanmacarthur8992]

Noahdaceo you can't see nuclear radiation

[@MaartensenPSLp]

Certain types of nuclear radiation effect your eye in a way its starts to fluoresce where the ray hit. So in a sense, you are capable of seeing some nuclear radiation

[@mrmr4622]

It's crazy that they did so much detail like the Statue of liberty, yet you barely notice it in the final product

[@stanley3119]

I mean we don't necessairly notice it at first glance but vfx artists have to be very meticoulis about every frame. Otherwise we feel like something is off. The exposure of a frame and our perception of details is being processed on a subconcious level. But still one should not renounce any minutea just because it seems too ornate.
