In honour of our amazing visual effects team making the next stage of selection for the VFX Academy Award here again is a clip of the Visual Effects Breakdown from the Scott Pilgrim extras, where Frazer Churchill from Double Negative explains all.

The long promised Blu-Ray and DVD hit stores in the US and Canada a week from today.

So let me tease you with some more behind the scenes science. This VFX breakdown narrated by our Visual Effects Supervisor Frazer Churchill shows you the painstaking work done by the wizards at Double Negative, along with my big brother Oscar who helped design some of the graphics.

If it exhausts you thinking about the work that went into these few seconds, imagine a whole movie of the same.

Hats off to these boffins!

More of this on the upcoming Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Blu-ray/DVD.

    This film deserves to win an award for sheer fun and originality, I must apologize for not seeing Scott Pilgrim in the theater. I also want to thank you for the bonus rich blu-ray. I’m urging everyone i know to watch it. Best film of 2010 that i didn’t view until 2011.

    Wow! This is seriously exciting!
    Fingers crossed to get to the next stage - but even making the shortlist is extremely impressive!

    Congrats on making the top 7! Well deserved and I hope the talented visual effects team behind Scott Pilgrim make the final cut! While the academy’s at it, why not a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination?

    Congrats :D. Your team deserves all the praise it gets. My guess is that it doesn’t stop here.

    SP will make it to the final, but politics will keep one of the best visual movies of our time from winning an Oscar. Seriously, this movie is, in my own unprofessional opinion, the best movie not to succeed in the box office of the new millenium. All involved should be proud of their effort.

    Hi Edgar, we met at the signing last week.

    Don’t know if you remember me amongst the hundreds of fans you met but I gave you my card, I’m studying TV at Bournemouth. You said to get in contact via the blog so here I am.

    Just wondering if there’s an email address where I can contact you with some questions? I’m hugely inspired by your work and would really appreciate just a small bit of your time!

    Thanks,

    Joe
