Crafting Cinematic Illusions: Todd Perry & Scott Kirvan Dive into Practical VFX of I’M A VIRGO
Have you seen the latest Boots Riley show I’M A VIRGO, on Amazon Prime? The premise of the show heavily relies on the main character’s 13-foot height. Yet, you may be shocked to find out that most of those visual effects were created in camera.
In this fascinating behind-the-scenes interview, the show’s VFX Supervisors Todd Sheridan Perry and Scott Kirvan go over some of the challenges and anecdotes from their set.
Todd Sheridan Perry is an On-Set Supervisor on the show with a diverse background in video games, film and television. He’s worked on titles like Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers to Final Destination 5, The Immortals, Total Recall, Resident Evil 5 and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Todd has also worked as a CG Supervisor on Marvel’s Doctor Strange which was nominated for a Best Visual Effects Oscar.
Scott Kirvan is a VFX and Virtual Production Supervisor, Tech Enthusiast and multidisciplinary creative. He is also the Co-Author of globally recognized Brazil Rendering System, a high performance production quality GI ray trace renderer. As a Virtual Production and Visual Effects Supervisor, Scott has over 20 years of leadership experience, including client-side supervisory roles and in-studio digital production work. He has a diverse background in filmmaking, VFX, business leadership, and engineering, making him a valuable asset to any production team.
In this day and age, visual effects often become part of the story. Which means that our work as VFX artists is one of storytelling and is just as crucial as that of other artists on set. I hope this interview is a reminder of just how crucially important our role is – and how to embrace it!
