As much of the elaborate, intense story telling from the written words, to screen… Sets are used built physically organically.. Then other visual effects is add with various techniques with various layers added portraying that scene inorganically in getting the scope of intense storytelling that they’re in bringing the imagination out..  in course of  the production Game of Thrones.. there was one Visual effects production unit, now there’s two due to the increase of scenes graphically need to be done from eight hundred to two thousand increase more demand of scope of the Westeros and Essos world..

In the recent episode of Terminator Genesys, plays a very different premise where the leader of the resistance is not what he appears to be is as we see in the previous episodes. Where this is the fall of the John Conner, the leader of the resistances whom falls prey in becoming the machines he is sought to destroys.. in this a different time line is created after several events in leading to this conclusion.. Where the only person is need saving is his father whom from the past, that boy, his father Kyle Reese..

In this is the visual break down of the how the visual effects are put together, digitally, compositionally with the physical elements from the production where in behind the green screen, where with layers of different elements of storylines with one creating from that mesh characters, animated fleshed out into that one scenes, or various sets of the film like that moment of a younger T-800 battling with its rouge older Arnold’s counterpart … to the graveyard of LAX and San Francisco..

Music in this provide by “ A Planet to Conquer’ Composed by Philippe Rey ..

In this we see how “Taylor swift’s Bad Blood”   we see the visual break of how her music Video is constructed…  also inventive work of “Ingenuity studios, Taylor Swift also Joseph Khan on Blank Space” also whom done creative works ranging for Television, film, advertising and other various media like the visual effects to the Darker version of Power Rangers as one by one are eliminated in an ongoing war.    In “ Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood”, lot of physical sets, using a combinations of green blue screen with digital storyline sets composite to tell a story of an between rivalry  like in Louis Chas’s Return of the Condor Heroes two sisterly characters like Xiao Longnu’s – Taylor Swift- Catastrophe and Li Mochou-Selena Gomez- Arsyn

 

There were awesome movie numerous theme scenes, in which there was one level green screen like the matrix like office fight off with the office window greened out then later imposed with a London background… Also there was another interesting composition of where The Trinity’s head gear visual digitally superimpose akin to that famous Tron like bike race where using real bikes, then digital composing onto the real scene of a secret training organisation with Taylor –Catastrophe  and  her friends in preparation for what’s come in that explosive confrontation.. also Taylor’s Bad Blood could make a serious awesome movie…… !!

“… There’s Dinosaurs on a Space ship…!!!!”  -Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor

As the first” Doctor who” season eight- episode with the twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi’s Doctor in trying to cope with the rehabilitation process of regeneration as he is nursing back to his self by his companion the Impossible girl, Clara Oswin Oswald  played by Jenna Louise Coleman , to make sure he Remembers to remember himself..  as their adventures continues in Victorian London with a T-Rex spatting out the TARDIS, then coming along with Team Madame Vastra..

As seen in this link clip the construction of “Milk-Vfx” BBC wales visual effects of Deep Breath….!

In this visual effects break down done by BAFTA awarding “Milk-VFX” like in akin like the almost the same process as the “ Legendary 2014 Godzilla” but with least intensely with of staying to the storyline and storyboard scenes..  Starting out with the Dinosaur wire frames sketchings to fleshing it out… With various composite layers to create the scene where the Dinosaur T-Rex is choking on something… logged in its throat trying to vomit it out… around Victorian London on the Parliament grounds…

The second one is interesting a slightly more complex to where we have a villain from the tenth Doctor’s past in that past the Girl in the Fireplace… where the Clockwork half face man goes through many developments in creating that look from using a mechanical clockwork under layer creating it as the clockwork organic flesh then fleshing it out to represent the character in animatronics form.. then translating complying the computer  wire frame face then to the in  composting the speaking  mouth together to get the Clockwork half face man..

Deep Breath is one of many memorable episodes, I like due to that the situation reminds to when David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor after the regeneration process where team Rose Tyler nursed him back to whom he is…. As to the process where Clara and Team Madame Vastra helping him to remember who he is…
