VFX production at PICTORION das werk, for the film "Die Frau des Anarchisten".

PICTORION das werk is proud to have been selected as the visual effects producer of the “Die Frau des Anarchisten“. The film by Marie Noelle and Peter Sehr tells the story of Marie Noelles grandmother in times of the Spanish Civil War.

The film was shot in 35mm film in Germany, Spain and France, where on the set the crew and cast were communicating in 5 different languages.

Sebastian Weidner, 3D artist at PICTORION das werk, set supervisor accompanied the production at several locations: Madrid, Barcelona and Annonay (France).

For one shot he was privileged to meet the legendary miniature model legend, Emilio Ruiz del Rio who has been involved in countless top class films since the fifties. For “Die Frau des Anarchisten” he built his last model, a house facade, ruined by a bomb attack. The effect is so unbelievable you should take a closer look at the pictures. Unfortunately Emilio died of cancer just after the shooting.

But there is a lot more to the VFX work of PICTORION das werk: The subsequent adaptation comprised a total of 70 effect settings, each requiring precise planning, preparation and execution. To do this, an in-house produced “motion picture workflow” developed by Joerg Bruemmer, head of compositing at PICTORION das werk and his team was used.
The workflow is based on a VFX database, which not only controls the communication, but also the file management during a project.

The creative team from PICTIORION das werk, under the direction of Florian Decker, was given plenty of scope with the realization, so that the artists were able to participate actively with the design of the visual effects.

The film premiere film was held on April 30th, 2009 in Munich in front of a delighted audience of the actors and many of the participants.
