How the Lunar Scene from Ad Astra Was Made

How the Lunar Scene from Ad Astra Was Made

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Jedediah Smith, VFX supervisor for Method Studios, describes the painstaking process visual effects artists used to create the moon and lunar rover sequence in Ad Astra. From their innovative use of infrared cameras to their deep archival research to their extensive use of rotoscoping, the effects team employed an array of techniques to balance realism and accuracy. CORRECTION issued 10/10/2019: the moon has 16. 6%, or roughly one-sixth, of the of the earth's gravity, not one-third, as stated in the video. (The VFX team did in fact simulate at correct moon gravity, which is 0. 166 of Earth gravity) Read more about Ad Astra at WIRED. com

Something immediately noticeable is that in many of the shots shown the astronaut's heads move entirely in concert with their helmets. With all the bumps and vibration they are showing you'd think they would have realised that the heads should be shaking about within their helmets. They aren't tight motorcycle helmets!

Makes one appreciate the painstaking hours devoted to the most minute details. details that only last for a few passing minutes. For us as the audience to be totally absorbed into the 'realism' that this movie portrays, indicates how flawlessly they've met their objectives and done their job exceptionally well.

So a lot of people in the industry don't even know how frame rates and cameras operate, when you want to slow down the frame rate of certain scene in editing you usually have to capture it with a higher frame rate in camera so that the slowed down version is as smooth as possible.

i think missing the flying drone above the convoy. some wreckage would have been needed if pirate activation was so strong. why not closed type the moon car? why not have a self-defense automatic weapon on it? like a magnetic accelerator gun. there will be a second part?

Great scene. but i don't think Apollo era type rovers are representative of a high tech lunar military force. While i understand it is good film for movies, those rovers are death traps in a hostile combat environment. Still i like the scene. well done.

I thought those tracers were lasers. A tracer round in an environment with no atmosphere makes no sense since tracers burn because of air friction. Otherwise a really great and convincing sequence: )

No! No one, ever landed on-- the moon! No oxygen for-- fuel use. MEDZOON--I'm this, strength--Egyptian.
I have, intelligence-- language measures. SCI never does = SSI Babylon-- I'm Satan.

What i dont get, sure the scene looks nice, but if the moon has advanced technology on it and they are going through a -war zone-, why would they do that in old school open rovers?
reply

He said -gravity on the Moon is 1/3 of Earth's gravity-. I hope it's just a mistake and they don't use that reference for the movie since the actual lunar gravity is half of that
reply

I liked this scene a lot! I can't see them ever using missles on the moon due to extremely thin air and the regolith being so fine but that's what makes movies great.
