Title:

Company / Institution / Agency:
- Double Negative
Description:
The visual effects work for “World Trade Center” was divided into two main stages: pre-collapse and post-collapse.
The pre-collapse stage meant building in CG the towers and complex, many of the buildings around them, and the surrounding streets. The buildings were then composited behind many live-action green screen shots that had been filmed in New York and Los Angeles, and dynamic effects were then added, such as smoke, burning, falling paper, and plummeting lumps of concrete and debris.
The post-collapse stage involved building Ground Zero in CG along with all the rubble, smoke, and dust that continued to envelope Manhattan for days after the event. This section included two major shots: a long pullout from within the rubble out to the atmos-phere, and a helicopter shot of the scene at Ground Zero on September 12th.
