The much-anticipated 300 opens this Friday (March 9) from Warner Bros., and Tara DiLullo Bennett, author of 300: THE ART OF THE FILM, has an extensive report for VFXWORLD. She interviews director Zack Snyder, vfx supervisor Chris Watts and two of the facilities: Animal Logic and Screaming Death Monkey. Meanwhile, Fred Galpern reviews endorphin 2.7 from NaturalMotion and tries to determine if it can help save time and money while also boosting the believability of character performances.
