A wonderful article from THE WIDER LENS featuring Code 8 Part II's Director Jeff Chan. Kind words for VFX supervisors Sophia Jooyeon Lee and Brian Huynh.

"The Visual Effects team at Playfight VFX deserves the most credit because they were able to build this photoreal dog that not only moved the right way, but had personality, and at times was very cute and playful, and at other times terrifying. Sophia Jooyeon Lee and Brian Huynh, our VFX Supervisors, spearheaded this and took on the challenge. But the way they executed it required such close collaboration with the Camera and Lighting team and the Art Department. Our Prop Master Mario Moreira built a full-size version of that dog, and we were able to bring it to set and get a perfect reference. We had an incredible stunt team, and they helped to bring that dog to life as well. We also had a person dressed in gray who would go around and play the dog in the scene. So we’d shoot in multiple ways. Sometimes, with effects-heavy movies that have more complicated digital effects sequences, there’ll be friction between departments. But for Code 8: Part II, because everyone has worked together for so long and did the first movie together, that friction just doesn’t exist. It’s much more of a collaboration."
