| Viggo Mortensen in The Road. |
To create his vision of the post-apocalypse in the film adaptation of The Road (read Sam Adams’ review), director John Hillcoat turned Western Pennsylvania into the desolate wasteland of Cormac McCarthy’s imagination. While ostensibly not much of Western PA would have to change to look like the world had ended (take that, Pittsburgh!!), all visual effects were done right here in Philly at DIVE, which I wrote about in the current issue.
But visual effects can be hard to … well … visualize. DIVE Executive Producer Andy Williams offered us some before and after shots directly from The Road to show you exactly what DIVE does. Check ‘em out after the jump. Click on each still for a larger view.
