Hit drama ‘LOST’ may be over and done with, but the final season comprised over 1000 VFX shots, with over 350 of them for the big finale. Over at FXGuide, they talk to visual effects supervisor Adam Avitabile about the work he and LOOK Effects did.
fxg: What about some of the CG-heavy work?
Avitabile: We did a bunch of underwater submarine shots for episode 14. We had to build full CG environments and get the whole depth of field thing underwater right. There was also the particulate matter, hull damage and bubbles in the water. We actually had some artists who worked on U-571, which had mostly been shot practically with some CG augmentation, so the artists had a really good eye for the right look. The one thing about Lost, as fantastical as the island is, the producers always wanted to base the visuals in some kind of reality.
