Dexter Studios, a South Korean visual effects studio, has worked on Project Y, a film where two women of the same age plan to steal gold bars worth six million dollars and disappear. The production promises action and notable technical display, with the studio contributing its VFX expertise to bring realism to the operation.
Digital simulation and realistic environments for the heist 🎬
For Project Y, Dexter Studios has developed digital simulations of gold bars and high-security scenarios. The team combined CGI with live-action shots to create the robbery sequences, using compositing and tracking techniques that integrate the actresses with virtual environments. The work includes lighting effects and particles for controlled explosions, maintaining visual coherence in every shot of the operation.
Digital gold weighs less, but VFX weighs on the budget 💰
Six million in virtual gold bars are easier to transport than real ones, although the cost of rendering them can compete with the price of physical gold. If the protagonists stole the special effects budget instead of the bank, they might end up with one less bar, but at least they wouldn't have to pay the render server rental.
