My role was VFX Supervisor for Crafty Apes, the primary VFX vendor on this film.
Growing up in New England and being a life long Patriots fan, this film was special for me to work on. We worked on several scenes with a variety of shots., and were responsible for putting the group of women at the Super Bowl that happened 5 years in the past.
Using green screen plates of the cast, we made a stadium using a combination of cg and matte painting, along with a cg crowd simulation to put them directly into the action. In some cases, we searched through hours of archival footage from NFL to find just the right clips and angles to composite into some of the shots.
