Prince of Persia, the new movie based on the popular game, comes to theaters next week and features some fancy CG work by Cinesite.  DigitalArts talks to Sue Rowe, visual effects supervisor, and they discuss some of the effects and creations they made.

Another sequence required Cinesite to create a full CG lioness. Using Autodesk Maya, the lioness was generated to reflect a creature that looked starved and malnourished.

“We really wanted to present a lioness who was bordering on emaciated to emphasise her need to hunt,” said Rowe. “To achieve this look we graded the lioness to have washed-out coloured fur and deeply emphasised her bone structure around the rib cage and hips.”
