Terence Malick’s The Tree of Life includes a 12-minute long montage sequence contemplating the history of the universe. The sequence and other effects in the film, which won the Palme d’Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, were more than five years in the making and the result of close collaboration between Malick and VFX supe Dan Glass. In this fxinsider Q&A, fxguide caught up with Glass in London recently to dissect the different realms of the montage piece.

In this interview fxguide talks to Digital Domain visual effects supervisor Matthew Butler about his team’s 350 shots for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Responsible for the characters Laserbeak, Brains, Wheels and the Decepticon protoforms hiding out on the moon, views of the space bridge, as well as the elaborate Bird Men skydiving sequence, Digital Domain this time handled all of the shots in stereo for the film – director Michael Bay’s third Transformers outing. Additionally, Digital Domain’s sister company, In-Three, handled some of the 3D conversion.
