RoboCop 2 |
Clash of the Robotitans |
Article by Jody Duncan |
| |
For the second chapter in his RoboCop saga, producer Jon Davison managed to assemble almost all of his orginal effects artists. Rob Bottin produced a new robosuit and an animatronic cyborg torso, Phil Tippett directed a massive stop-motion effort, Craig Davies designed and constructed a formidable mechanized monster, Peter Kuran supplied robovision effects and Rocco Gioffre provided futuristic matte paintings. Added to the effects roster for RoboCop 2 was the computer graphics firm of deGraf/Wahrman and an on-set computer graphics team headed by Paul Sammon. |

Wings of the Intruder |

The producers of Flight of the Intruder - a Vietnam war film about Navy pilots who embark on an unauthorized bombing mission over Hanoi - received plenty of support from the U.S. Navy. But for scenes too difficult or too dangerous to achieve with real aircraft, visual effects supervisor Mark Vargo was enlisted to orchestrate a vast comingling of radio control and wire-flown aircraft, expansive miniature settings, pyrotechnic explosions, motion control photography, cel animation and computer generated imagery. Nearly a dozen effects companies were employed in the effort. |

Die Hard 2 |
Maximum Impact |
Article by Mark Cotta Vaz |
| |
Set within and above an international airport during a major blizzard, Die Hard 2 was a more than substantial challenge for both special effects coordinator Al Di Sarro and visual effects supervisor Micheal McAlister of Industrial Light & Magic. While Di Sarro wrestled with the problem of supplying tons of biodegradable simulated snow - the real thing was proving elusive, even in normally snowbound locations - a miniatures unit from ILM was flying and crashing gigantic airplane models in the windswept Mojave Desert. |
