Behind the Magic: "Pacific Rim" Hong Kong Battle

"Pacific Rim" is Guillermo del Toro's modern retake on the giant city destroying Kaiju films that started with Godzilla in 1954. The survival of mankind is threatened by giant alien creatures and to respond to this outsized threat, the nations of the Earth come together to build an outsized response - similarly sized giant combat robots.
Here the ILM visual effects team discusses the challenge behind one of the films signature action sequences, the Hong Kong battle.

I thought they shot parts of an actual city and then rendered the fight on top of that. It was ALL CGI!! And yet the office was a MINIATURE?! Holy crap!!

well, when it is a live action anime, everybody ignores.. still, it doesn't need crap like those. it just needs to feel like a real mecha live action. I am looking forward to see the sequel!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate, that the ILM sr.visual effects art director's last name is "Jaeger". That's awesome

Pacific rim should've been nominated for best visuals for the oscars and golden globes.

"but it doesnt work with an oil tanker" ... damned right, a boat taken out of water in that fashion would simply collapse under its own weight (imagine picking up a overly long swiss-role or cake and swing it around) ... but what the hell, we all just shouted "hell yeah" when we saw that scene

It is an absolute crime that this movie was not nominated for Best Visual Effects.

@TechRock2020 10 жыл бұрын

Visuals were literally out of this world! Seamless CGI to real world environment! Topped most movies that I've seen! I watch movies 2 or three times and notice well where the digital stands out from the real world, and boy I have yet to find it after the 4th time watching :D Amazing job! I pay tribute to all of you by staying for the credits and seeing who truly makes these amazing movies come to life! :)

The effects in this film were stunning. The best parts of the film were with the monsters and robots. They actually looked massive and hulking. Much better than the robots in previous films.

Its weird how a lot of studios dont use a "mini-set" technique. Should be more common.

@cheesefighter567 10 жыл бұрын

I also saw that awhile ago, miniature sets seem to be one of the things that make ILM stand out. mixing old effects with new effects.

@jimmysgameclips 10 жыл бұрын

I love it, best kind of effects! Then again this full CG set did blow my mind

@moodyplus 10 жыл бұрын

Too labor intensive for a 10 second scene?

@cheesefighter567 10 жыл бұрын

it's a lot easier (or seems to be) than simulating all that not even including modeling and texturing and sending it through the rest of the pipeline.Also would be cheaper than paying all those individual artists and no one has the ultra rendering power of giant art studios. right?

It always makes me laugh when they show these giant animations of a city, transformers or any other movie where people are not bothered by two giant robots fighting in the city center and there is just too much traffic. Takes it away from the realism a little.
