Traveling back in time, finding your father and younger self all while trying to find and save your missing wife you can bet CGI was a major part of The Adam Project! With a whopping budget of 116 million dollars, the production team pulled out all the stops, including massive practical effects, highly detailed sets, and custommade tools. With all this at work, CGI came in to amplify, detail, and vamp up all the action we see!
Deaging is a tricky process and was necessary for this timetraveling film but which actor came out looking almost unrecognizable? Sorian technology looks pretty cool even if the weapons arent always what they appear to be. All those tools were designed and then 3D printed and constructed by a small company in Australia only to get the CG treatment in the editing phase.
Lets talk about the big chasefight scene, this is one that we would expect to be pretty much full CG, but the fact is, its actually about a fiftyfifty split! There were real hovercrafts on set, whipping through the tall woods of British Columbia and bringing to life literal highflying action. CG was key in putting all the pieces together, from touching up the details of the hovercraft action, filling in the background and action around the car that was filmed still and in front of a blue screen, and of course, the creation of the giant spacecraft, capable of making itself invisible.
The Adam Project is a feast for the eyes, using the best of the best to put together a visually exciting and innovative film
Little: Another mistake in this video is that the younger Sorian was not played by Catherine Keener with her own face CG over top. She was fully acted by a body double played by Canadian actor Lucie Guest and Keeners face was put over Guests face. Date: 2022-06-06
