Today we focused on interview with Kaj Steveman, Creative Director & VFX Supervisor from Fido and his responsibility on creating Underworld: Awakening movie. Fido has worked with the directors of Underworld Awakening before and they were approached early on to bid for another sequence in the film, the transformation and death of Dr Lane. According to Kaj: „The Underworld saga has a very distinct view on vfx; it has to feel physical, practical and real. In other words, everything that feels too much like CG is a big no-no. This legacy was very strong in this film as well, and this was a real challenge in some of our shots. “
