Jeff IV fast asleep on the cool studio floor of FX WRX, Chris Webb’s Brooklyn-based practical effects facility. But don’t think he’s being lazy. He’s just worn out from visualizing the endless possibilities proffered by this cinematographer’s Disneyland.
Webb and his staff are not just a rarity in today’s environment, they’re unique. With the previous generations of experts long-gone from the industry (if not the planet!), they’ve somehow managed to keep traditional, in-camera methods alive while rebranding them as an adjunct to modern technology. Even the hardest pixelhead would admit, an expertly realized practical effect looks better than almost anything sprung from a computer. I assure you…the folks at FX WRX are the unmitigated geniuses in this arena!
From studio and independent features to episodics, commercials and documentaries, they cover the full gamut.
