Judging by STAR TREK and TERMINATOR SALVATION, this appears to be the summer on VFX steroids. That's even the case with ANGELS & DEMONS, which Alain Bielik covers with his usual expertise, in describing the work of Double Negative, CIS Vancouver and MPC. In fact, the article opens with Angus Bickerton, the overall visual effects supervisor, proclaiming that it's "DA VINCI CODE on steroids." Meanwhile, Steve Roberts, founder/CEO of eyeon Software, offers his view on managing vfx complexity with the pipeline of the future.
