Description:


    Martial arts philosophy and technology converge in “The Matrix Reloaded.” In order to execute the Wachowski brothers’ vision of large-scale fight sequences with physically impossible camera moves, ESC Entertainment along with John Gaeta and the EON VFX department developed a unique virtual cinematography process. This process was used to construct fully virtual content containing everything from actor performance to dynamic events and entirely 3D backgrounds all contained in one moving frame. With over 1,000 computer graphics shots and 20 minutes of running footage, much of the physically based action in the film was made possible.
