THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

 Flash Film Works worked on the  film "THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL" starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. Flash performed many shots on this film, a number of them involving 3D animation of helicopters. We also composited Central Park backgrounds into blue screen plates shot in Vancouver, composited backgrounds and rain into car driving shots and other types of effects as well.
 

For this sequence of the helicopers carrying the scientists landing in Central Park, the action was shot on a blue screen.. We then composited in the background using various stills of Central Park that were shot by a second unit crew in New York.  Helicopters were added in 3D to match in with the practical mockup that the actors were standing in.

We also did a number of shots of touch screen animation for this film.
