The Visual Effects of Barbie
Framestore and production visual effects supervisor Glen Pratt appears here in virtual conversation with befores & afters editor-in-chief Ian Failes to discuss Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and its mix of largely invisible VFX work.
The enormous hit of 2023 featured 1600 visual effects, including those for crafting Barbie Land and a fun prologue homage to the Dawn of Man sequence in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Pratt breaks down how many individual scenes were made with early previs and virtual production, plus the special effects and visual effects work involved.
