How the visual effects team made 1917Movie look like one continuous shot
Sam Mendes' World War I film is edited to look like one continuous shot. To pull off this feat, the effects team had to make its work as invisible as possible.may not seem like a visual-effects-heavy movie, director Sam Mendes' decision to make his World War I epic appear as a single, uninterrupted shot created a considerable challenge for the Oscar-nominated VFX team that had to invisibly stitch together individual takes.
For Rocheron, one of the most challenging portions of the film is a sequence in which Lance Cpl. Schofield , after running through a destroyed city , jumps off a bridge into a river. The leap into the river is fully CG, including a digital double of the actor. It then picks up with the actual MacKay in the water — filmed in a water park that also underwent its own technical manipulations.
