For "The Fast and the Furious", HAMMERHEAD PRODUCTIONS delivered 70 Visual effects shots. They were primarily in the "das boot" sequence, which was the production's name for the drag race that occures early in the film. The work consisted of tracking blue screen forground plates, reconstructing backgrounds from a six camera "circle vision" element and compositing with speed and vibration enhancements. Another sequence at the end of the movie where Dom and Brian have a final race involved the development of a dreamy "hyper real" time shifting effect. This project was completed in collaboration with Illusion Arts in Van Nuys.
