Abstract:
Van Helsing, the latest film by director Stephen Sommers presented an incredible challenge to the Visual Effects Team at Indus- trial Light & Magic. Universal Studios asked VFX Supervisors Scott Squires and Ben Snow, and Animation Director Daniel Jeannette to bring these familiar characters to life for a new generation.
