A new video from Digital Domain explains how 3D models were used make the ‘Ender’s Game’ film.

Digital Domain is the visual special effects company that worked on the ‘Ender’s Game’ movie.

Mårten Larsson, a visual effects supervisor for Digital Domain, explains in the video below the process of developing 3D models into fluid battle room scenes.

He gives fans a look into how pre-production concepts and Digital Domain came together to develop key differences between human and formic designs.

“It was very easy to add too much,” said Larsson. “It would be a big visual clutter, so another big challenge for us was, ‘Now we’ve added all the ships we wanted in there. It’s completely crazy. I don’t know where to look. How do subtract ships or move ships around?'”

If you haven’t read ‘Ender’s Game: Inside the World of an Epic Adventure‘, this video is definitely worth the watch.

“It’s a really great feeling to know that you can make anything happen. If you can dream it, you can make it.”

This video was produced by Future Engerineers. Those interested can submit a 3D model to futureengineers.org for a chance to win a day at Digital Domain and a VIP Tour of SpaceX or the grand prize of a 3D print on the International Space Station.
