Cutting Edge work on VFX for Beneath Hill 60

Cutting Edge held a screening on Monday night for the recently completed feature film, Beneath Hill 60. C

Cutting Edge completed 120 VFX shots and the full DI on the Australian World War I film that was directed by Jeremy Sims and stars Brendan Cowell.

The film features one of the largest CGI explosion scenes ever to grace Australian screens, according to Cutting Edge.

Cutting Edge partnered with The Silence Films and became involved in planning for post and VFX on the film early in pre-production.

Through development and pre-production Cutting Edge’s VFX supervisor Ron Roberts worked with director, producer, DOP and production designer to determine which shots could be enhanced, or achieved in total as CGI.

At key times, Roberts flew up to location in Townsville to ensure that everything needed for VFX post was captured on film. 

At the end of the day, he and the team completed 120 VFX shots, comprising everything from set extensions, sky replacements, matte paintings to full CGI explosions.

“To bring Cutting Edge in with us from the start meant that our path from pre-production into post was seamless," said producer Bill Leimbech. "The experience and can-do attitude of everyone on their team enabled us to concentrate on story and performance.”
