Special congratulations to DNEG’s VFX Supervisor Paul Lambert and Tristan Myles, DFX Supervisor, who were both named in the BAFTA nomination for First Man – Damien Chazelle’s epic moon landing blockbuster.
As lead VFX partner on First Man, Paul and team used a blend of cutting-edge in-camera VFX techniques, special effects, scale models, and never-before-seen footage from NASA’s archive to tell the story of Neil Armstrong’s journey to the Moon and back. Check out this featurette for a peek behind the scenes.
