“Our DOP Anthony Dod Mantle was really excited about shooting in stereo and that was one of the big things that brought everyone together,” says Thum. The majority of principal photography – around 95% – was filmed in stereo, although helicopter plates and some other scenes were post-converted by Prime Focus, and some native stereo was also ‘exaggerated’ in post. “There was a lot of violence in the script and he wanted that to come through, except for the drug moments when it needed to appear hyper-real and somewhat beautiful.”Īdding to the impact was the fact that Dredd was a stereo show, filmed natively on RED One’s and SI-2Ks, and high speed photography shot on Phantom Flex’s. “Alex wanted Dredd to be gritty and real and visceral,” says Thum. Thum, VFX Supervisor of Dredd 3D and Prime Focus World, was on-board early in the concept stage working with writer and producer Alex Garland. Slow motion effects formed some of the film’s key sequences. We go behind the scenes of the stereo effects work in the film with overall visual effects supervisor Jon Thum, Prime Focus World, Baseblack and The Mill. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture - a 200 storey vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma and her ruthless clan.A future metropolis, slow motion gun battles and some literally head-exploding scenes – these are just some of the visual effects in Pete Travis’ Dredd 3D, a new take on the 2000 AD Judge Dredd comic character. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson, a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge - a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.

The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One - a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The future America is an irradiated waste land.
