Making Of First Man by DNEG

Watch the multitude of VFX techniques that were used to create the realism for Damien Chazelle’s Neil Armstrong biopic ‘First Man’.

First Man is a production in which we redefine shooting ‘in camera’. Those words generally imply everything is shot practically, which DNEG creatively did. The team had to create a gentle balance using a diverse mixture of visual effects, special effects, archival footage and scaled models to help create the 1960’s documentary style film that was the Director’s vision. Enjoy!
