Piove col sole

Feature film · VFX

For the feature film Piove col sole, we created visual effects involving fire, environment transformations and the integration of digital elements into live-action footage. Using simulations and particle effects, we created flamethrower fire across several daytime and night-time sequences and added flames to fire scenes, compositing them with the actors and real environments.

We transformed a daytime shot into a night-time scene, reworking the sky and the lighting of the urban landscape and adding a burning antenna with a rising column of smoke. Our atmospheric work also included creating a storm at sea, with dark clouds and rainfall on the horizon.

We also handled the compositing of selected sequences shot on green screen, integrating the characters into scenes set at the top of a skyscraper. We carried out clean-up work to remove unwanted elements from the footage and integrated CGI objects into the scenes. The 3D elements included a cigar animated as it is thrown in slow motion.
