Atomic has created the visual effects on many interesting projects. We have experience working on feature films, shorts and of course tv drama, documentaries and television commercials. We are used to working with directors and helping to make their ideas come alive on screen. Using dynamic 3d animatics and carefull shot planning along with on-set shot supervision we can seemlessly blend live action and CGI. Atomic is proud to count many US channels, all the UK terrestrial channels, and many UK advertising agencies amongst an ever increasing list of its satified clients.
In The Shadow Of Vesuvius
We supervised all the location shooting, collecting live action plates for us to compose the CG eruption onto. The erupting pyroclastic flows were generated using smoke and fluid simulations on a huge scale. We also directed a motion control shoot, creating a partly stop-motion and partly 3d animation. This showed how an ash covered body decays and then can be made into a plaster cast, like the famous 'statues' of the Roman dead.
