MPC - The Sisters Brothers VFX Breakdown (2018)

The Sisters Brothers (2018)

The Sisters Brothers is an upcoming western dark comedy directed by Jacques Audiard. This is the third time that the MPC Paris & Liège teams have been able to work with director Jacques Audiard. Westerns are part of American film history and we all grew up with images of huge landscapes and deadly gunfights. As a European studio, MPC Liège has rarely had the opportunity to work on a western, so our teams were eager to work on it.

The environment was handled in a standard approach: asset creation (lots of Substance painter / Zbrush). The CG extensions were mainly based on picture references delivered by the art department. Lighting was done in Arnold and compositing in Nuke.

The crowd was entirely handled in Golaem and we had to be careful about the historical references for the costumes. The main challenge was to match the CG crowd to the real one as they were pretty close to each other.

SYNOPSIS:
Eli and Charlie Sisters, an infamous duo of gunslinging assassins, chase a gold prospector and his unexpected ally in 1850s Oregon.
