Visual Effects in the Jungle Book

The new live action version of the jungle book has come out recently. While reviews are mixed and I am not sure if the film itself is worth seeing, but it is absolutely full of complicated visual effects. This video shows some of the work and compositing that went into this film. So much of this film from the characters to the backgrounds are computer generated. It looks pretty cool and is definitely something that I would like to be able to do in the future.

The Jungle Book (2016)

I'm not sure if anyone's posted about this yet, but I was watching Jimmy Fallon last night and Jon Favreau was on it, talking about new Jungle Book movie, which he is the director of. The movie is the third live action adaptation of The Jungle Book, and there is only a few live action actors on the film, while the rest are voice actors for the computer generated animals. I imagine that this would be difficult for the actors as well as time consuming for the animators but  the animation looks very mature and captivating and as a lover of the Jungle Book, I'll definitely be seeing this movie.
