The Tech Behind Benjamin Button

Posted on May 07, 2009 by Jay Lara / 501 Views


I knew there were digital effects involved for the head of Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But I didn’t know that the entire head (from the neck up) is completely CG!

If you look at the footage again, it’s pretty amazing how they pulled this off.

Ed Ulbrich, Executive VP of Production at Digital Domain, talks about the whole process in this TED talk.

While you’re at it, please go through more TED talks here. It’s really the only thing worth watching on the Internet.
