In nuce: Visual effects service provider Hybride Technologies has released an almost five-minute VFX breakdown for Disney’s streaming series The Book of Boba Fett.

In toto: If you want to make friends with the rough-and-tumble Wookie Black Krrsantan or get to know the bounty hunter Cad Bane personally, you should dive into the George Lucas Cinematic Universe with The Book of Boba Fett. As with its predecessor series The Mandalorian, an LED volume stage was used for the Boba Fett series. The deepfake technology also created a surprise effect for viewers of the series; it helped to wipe a young Luke Skywalker out of the pipeline.

Click to continue: Digital Production last reportedon the streaming series The Book of Boba Fett on 17 June last year – at the time, texture artists from ILM were riding the Rancor, so to speak. On 2 December of the same year , VFX house Image Engine shook the War of the Stars alumnus Obi-Wan Kenobi out of his Jedi bathrobe for a streaming series dedicated to him.

Turn the page: In DP 05 : 2022 , we had two excellent fan films from the galaxy far, far away up our sleeve (the fun unpacking video E-11 and the epic feature-length film Descendants of Order 66). We also make DP 05 : 2022 available to our readers as an e-paper (this issue is even available as a free trial copy!).

Just get away from it all, go for a ride over desert dunes with the Blurrg, listen to the crackling of grains of sand – and shatter at the slavering and clamouring of the Jawas. Wouldn’t that be something? In Pixomondo’s VFX Breakdown, it would be (see below).

“If a Mandalorian walks into a bar and orders a glass of Bantha milk with a shot…”. That’s how a joke could start, told in a galaxy far, far away. The VFX artists from Important Looking Pirates show us what such an intergalactic bar scene looks like. Namely with humanoid cephalopods, laser weapon duels and doors with twist locks.
