Digital Dimension gets the call…
Award-winning visual effects studio develops visual effects for New Line Cinema’s latest film: “Cellular”.
 
Burbank, CA -- ­ VES Award winning studio gets the call to create over 100 invisible effects for New line film Cellular, starring Kim Basinger and William H. Macy.
Final Destination II director, David Ellis and Editor Eric Sears, decided to team up again with Visual Effects Supervisor, Ben Girard and his well known studio, Digital Dimension.   

The story within the action thriller Cellular is about a young man receiving a random call to his cell phone that sends him into a high-stakes race against time to save a woman's life… With no knowledge of Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger) other than her hushed, panicked voice on the other end of the tenuous cell phone connection, Ryan (Chris Evans) is quickly thrown into a world of deception and murder on his frantic search to find and save her.

The work assigned to Digital Dimension ranged from designing and inserting all cell phone displays, adding wounds to actors, and adding CG mud to cars. One of the most challenging sequences, Girard explains, was where our team was required to turn a car into a CG muddy car.

The toolset that created the imagery included Discreet 3DS Max, Russ Anderson’s SynthEyes, and Eyeon Digital Fusion for the compositing.

Digital Dimension recently completed visual effects work on Warner Brothers’ “Exorcist: The beginning” and was the leading studio on the upcoming super hero saga Blade: Trinity.
