Bill wanted the camera to be another character in the film. He wanted dynamic, exciting shots to put the audience right into the action.

Our most rewarding experiences at Mr. X come when we partner with the filmmakers at the earliest conceptual stage to help design and shape the execution of complex effects sequences. On BROTHERS, we had the opportunity to work closely with the production team to create meticulously accurate pre-visualization for the sequence. Through this we were able to assist the director to choreograph the action, uncover filming challenges, and develop a complete filming solution down to each camera lens and position well before shooting began.

There were never more than a few hundred extras on set at a time during the shoot, yet the climactic tournament near the end of the film required a sea of onlookers and a grand and epic feel. Visual effects allowed us to bring thousands of virtual spectators into the scenes, and to do so in an exciting and realistic way.

I was looking forward to this film because this was the side of Anakin's character that I was really looking forward to playing ... that sort of transitional phase of his life where he goes to the dark side.

We feel that that Humboldt County area is going to be a character in the film. It's so beautiful; it's so unique.

To make a documentary is one thing, to make a feature film is quite another.
