FX Guide:

Director Tim Miller’s first feature, the Fox film Deadpool, hasn’t just raised the bar for subversive, fourth-wall-breaking comic book movies, it also pushes the art in terms of visual effects. From completely synthetic environments for the freeway chase, to a fully CG dialogue-delivering metallic character in Colossus, to a unique approach to Deadpool’s facial animation and an unforgettable frozen moment opening title sequence, the film showcases a raft of impressive tech.

We talk to Miller, overall visual effects supervisor Jonathan Rothbart and VFX vendors Digital Domain, Atomic Fiction, Blur Studio, Weta Digital, Rodeo FX, Luma Pictures and Image Engine about just some of these key scenes.

I saw this movie over the weekend and it deserves all the accolades it’s receiving. Fun, funny, visually gorgeous. It was shot here in Vancouver and even though I recognized several of the locations, this article showed me just how much CGI they had done. The technical aspects of these films always amazes me, especially when they are so good, you don’t notice them while you’re watching the movie.
