Rising Sun Pictures

Rising Sun Pictures are a passionate team of producers, artists and technicians, known for providing complex visual effects and cg character work to feature film clients all around the world. With a capacity to scale to over 750 shots per year, Rising Sun has recently worked on films such as Terminator Salvation, the Harry Potter series (The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, The Deathly Hallows), X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Watchmen.

From humble beginnings providing digital effects and 3D animation for the Australian television, film and multimedia industries, Rising Sun Pictures has evolved to become an internationally respected provider of visual effects for feature films. Rising Sun’s filmography now exceeds the 60-feature mark, not bad for 15 years collaboration with some of the industry’s top filmmakers.

The amount of involvement Rising Sun has on each feature film it works on can vary wildly depending on what stage of the production it is called in. This in turn affects how Rising Sun itself approaches the client brief. “Each production is different, and the amount of information we receive from our client determines how we approach the creative solution,” Cope explains. “Some projects allow us to get in on the ground level and contribute ideas, concept designs, pre-visualisation and onset supervision. Others may come to us with background plates, which have already been shot, that we’ll then need to augment. The look is mostly driven from our art department, but also from the VFX team through workshopping ideas and experimenting with various techniques that might deliver the look we are after.

Regardless of the context, however, attention to detail is key as apparently we humans have an uncanny knack for noticing anything that doesn’t fall into place. This can encompass all elements from ensuring continuity of the lighting and colour, through to how the background appears in the rear of a shot. Rising sun pictures work tirelessly on single shots that can go through up to 100 viewings before being having a final copy.
