Description

"Civil War" was released last spring to a positive yet somewhat polarizing reception from critics and audiences as its story drew some controversy while the technical crafts were lauded with praise. The film grossed over $126.2 million worldwide, becoming A24's second-highest-grossing film to date, and has been nominated for the American Cinema Editors Awards and won the British Independent Film Craft Awards for Best Sound and Effects. And now, the film's visual effects have been shortlisted by the Academy's visual effects branch for the 97th Academy Awards. Visual Effects Supervisor David Simpson, Visual Effects On Set Supervisor/Compositing Supervisor Chris Zeh, and CG Supervisor Freddy Salazar were all kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to rent or own from A24 and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Visual Effects. Thank you, and enjoy!
