Visual effects supervisor Scott Stokdyk has worked with director Sam Raimi on all three of the Spiderman movies, but working on OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL was the greatest challenge yet with every single frame of environment having been created from scratch. Scott talks to CineMovie about the unique task of making the world of OZ and the difference between using blue and green screen.
After the visual presentation, CineMovie's Fernando Esquivel sat down with the senior visual effects supervisor for a more in-depth discussion about the process and to give us insight into the challenges presented by the creation of an non-existent environment as imagined by Sam Raimi.
Take a listen to what he had to say in our video interview.
