So did you all go see ‘The Dark Knight’ this weekend? Well from the $158.1 million dollars it made, I’d sure as hell bet that you did!

Now there’s not much out there about all the visual effects done for the movie. And you wanna know why? Because visual effects were only used where they were absolutely needed! Novel idea, I know.

In fact, most of the visual eye candy was done for real. That’s right, in camera. Just how I likes it.

That being said, the relatively modest amount of work that was done was stellar. And fxguide did do a nice little article about the work that was done but the good folks over at New Deal and Double Negative, aka – DNeg.

Check it out…

Many excellent companies worked on the filmThe Dark Knight. The miniatures work of New Deal are faultless and the face work of Harvey Dent done by Framestore is haunting. But in this week’s podcast we focus on the work of Double Negative and drill down on the Bat Pod motorbike chase and the complexity of finishing much of the work at 6.5K IMAX resolution.
