When Director Chris Weitz was hired for New Moon, he had the hard task of creating the werewolves for the film and improving the CGI effects from Twilight. He turned to VFX company Prime Focus, which created the CG water, atmospherics and CG matte painting, and environment work for the film.

They were also given the hard task of creating the perfect sparkle for Edward’s skin. The visual team led by visual effects supervisor Eric Pascarelli, went to extensive research to get the right look. He and he team used a Greek Thassos marble to get the correct look.

“Creating the diamond skin effect turned out to be a very rewarding experience,” said Pascarelli. “The effect appears many times throughout the film in several very different scenarios. It was challenging because the diamond effect appears in sunlight, whenever Edward’s already very pale skin is lit by sun, and on top of all of that brightness, there needs to be a convincing diamond-like sparkle.”

He continues: “Film doesn’t really have enough brightness range to do this, so we had to resort to some trickery, such as lens effects, flares and light rays to give the feeling of super-bright glimmer. In addition, we needed to show the skin having a translucent glow. There was a very delicate balance of the elements that make up the effect.”

Chris and Susan loved what we came up with very early in the process, which ended up being one of the happy surprises during production.”

They also recreate the Forks High School, the clingy cliffs and the green landscape of the Pacific Northwest. To read the rest of the articles, click on the link above.
