DEADPOOL Gets a VFX Breakdown Video

Considering that director Tim Miller spent years working in the visual effects industry, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Deadpool, his feature directorial debut, featured a ton of visual effects shots. Atomic Fiction has released a new video showcasing the highway crash/shootout sequence, and that alone was almost entirely created inside a computer.

It's no secret that I didn't like the movie very much, but it's impressive that Miller and his team were able to get results that looked like this with what was, comparatively speaking, a much smaller budget than many of its superhero movie contemporaries are granted by studios.

“Deadpool” marks the beginning of a new era for superhero films, and one sequence in particular was key to setting the tone. This is an in-depth VFX breakdown reel showcasing the behind-the-scenes efforts by the Atomic Fiction team. The work involved creating computer generated characters, vehicles, and an entire urban environment, for the thrilling car chase that kicks off this new franchise! Special thanks to Tim Miller, Jonathan Rothbart, our friends at Blur, and 20th Century Fox for the opportunity to contribute to these sequences.
