The VFX of S.W.A.T.

September 12, 2003 12:44 PM

CGchannel.com has a briefbut fairly informative feature on the two CG effect "set pieces" in the recent movie S.W.A.T. I thought the movie was a quite respectable summer spectacle - the helicopter crash in particular was quite well-done - and it's usually fun and instructive to see how these things are done.

A helicopter crash makes a respectable movie?

Oy vey.

Er...GriffX didn't say that, s/he said the movie was respectable and that the helicopter crash was particularly well done.

I liked the movie a lot, they did a lot of things right, it's not your standard brain-dead summer blockbuster by any means.

Neat link, GriffX, thanks! I've bookmarked the site.
