The visual effects of Surrogates
Now available on DVD, Jonathan Mostow's Surrogates depicts a world where human beings have given over their lives to almost-perfect robotic replicas. Although more crime drama than action piece, the film still contains around 800 visual effects shots. Visual effects supervisor Mark Stetson oversaw an ensemble of facilities on the show, including Synthespian Studios, MPC Vancouver, Brickyard VFX, Sandbox F/X and ILM, with practical work by Howard Berger's K.N.B. EFX Group.
