With a modest budget of just $US60 million for a VFX-intensive film, the filmmakers of Priest had to be creative. With 750 VFX shots in total, about a dozen companies were employed to help bring the dark vampire tale to life.
Creative Cartel served as the VFX head on the production, while other facilities included Tippett Studio, Spin VFX, Spy Post and Melbourne-based Iloura. The latter.s recent credits include Killer Elite, Don.t Be Afraid of the Dark, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Sanctum and The Pacific.
Iloura.s work on Priest . essentially a .911 stress call. . commenced about 18 months ago. The company employed a team of up to 15 to produce about 60 shots over a two-month period.
The Scott Stewart-directed project, shot on anamorphic film with rare Panasonic C-series lenses, tells the story of a battle-hardened supernatural priest who embarks on a perilous quest to save his niece from an army of vampires.
