Description:
“Chrysalis” is a futuristic thriller directed by Julien Leclercq and produced by Gaumont. As this sequence illustrates, la maison was confronted with creating several realistic and seamlessly integrated visual effects. The film’s most demanding scene challenged the facility to portray a young woman’s remote heart operation. A virtual surgical system, camera movements, and an actress’s hand gestures were pre-visualized in 3D before the shoot. The robot arms and heart were modeled in 3D using Houdini and later integrated with the live-action footage.
