Description:


    Hailed as one of the great visual effect sequences of the year, Digital Domain’s “Brain Fly-Through” sequence takes the audience, in one single 95-second shot of 2,256 frames, through a human brain from the inception of a spark-like synapse in a dendrite forest, into the convolutions of grey matter, through cranial bone, up a hair follicle and down a CG-generated face of actor Edward Norton. Created entirely in CG, the shot combines Digital Domain’s procedural approach in Houdini with its L Systems approach featured in “What Dreams May Come.”
