Automata Visual Effects Review

Movie - Automata
released - 2014
Director - Gabe Ibáñez
Cinematography - Alejandro Martinez
VFX - Wordwide FX

starring Antonio Banderas & Birgitte Hjort SørensenMelanie GriffithDylan McDermottRobert Forster and Tim McInnerny, Automata is a movie about the incidents that takes place in a near future not far away from us.


it's 2030 & the sun's high radiation has killed almost all the human population & the remaining gather into safe areas & build robots called pilgrims.  The movie has these pilgrims throughout the story & the sandy visuals are all thanks to the magic of visual effects.

Worldwide FXs team delivered more than 800 Computer generated visual effects shots which included CG environments, CG set extensions, holograms, painting out puppeteers & some robot creatures work.


more than 100 of the pilgrims were built with different variations and stages of damage. these animatronic models were then shot on green screen where possible & CGI models were used in some shots where the models were not smooth enough to pull the visual effects or jumps & actions that required.
