How to Train Your Dragon’s VFX in SYFY
Production VFX Supervisor Christian Mänz spoke to SYFY about the team’s work on How To Train Your Dragon. He describes how it was impossible to cheat when it came to bringing Toothless into the ‘real’ world, and how the team breathed life (and plenty of fire) into those epic Red Death sequences.
Framestore provided a comprehensive creative solution, from concept art and visual development through to previs, techvis, and postvis, encompassing over 1,400 shots of complex final VFX.

"Framestore and ILM, who did all the work, were just on it. Things came in really close all the time. They were very dialed in, and I suspect a lot of that came from them having already done a lot of the work on Top Gun and Ryan (Tudhope) kind of designing and guiding the workflow." — Stephen Mirrione, ACE, Editor
