One of DNEG’s VFX team’s biggest challenges was to create the most realistic and immersive in-camera FX with the help of the biggest LED screens ever built on a movie set. These included special effects, scale models, and never-before-seen footage from NASA’s archives to realise this biopic about legendary American astronaut Neil Armstrong. The team used a unique blend of cutting-edge in-camera techniques. “Wow! What an achievement to have won this prestigious award!
