“Visitors can take it in turns to act against the green screen with our actors. There will be a live feed of this to a screen so that they can see what it looks like once the background is dropped in.”
“Simon (VFX), will be there to show a showreel of FX, including before and after stunt shots, showing the layers that go into what’s on screen.”
