BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER

Cinesite’s London and Montreal studios together delivered close to 400 visual effects shots, with the London team creating a single 10-minute sequence and Montreal a range of sequences across Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The work included all manner of challenges, from stunning hydrobomb impacts to seamless environments, CG water, digi-doubles and a masterclass in compositing with wet, reflective surfaces.  VFX supervisors Ben White & Jennifer Meire will discuss the challenges and achievements of their teams’ work across the Academy Award-nominated film.
