Behind the Scenes: The-Artery Reveals the Secrets to Creating Mind-Blowing VFX for SMILE!
Obsessed with horror film visual effects? Interested in hearing about the behind-the-scenes on the 2022 feature film SMILE?
In this quick talk, VFX Supervisors Vico Sharabani and Yuval Levy give a VFX breakdown of the work they’ve done on the film, from its conception to post-production.
Vico Sharabani is a Creative Entrepreneur, award-winning Creative-Director, Director, and Producer. He is also the Founder and CCO of The-Artery, a New York based media production company that creates high-end visual content for brands, feature films, commercials, digital experiences, art installations and more.
As one of the most notable Flame artists in the world, Vico is the winner of the first ever Autodesk Flame Award recognizing his vast contributions to the VFX industry over the past 25 years. Vico’s portfolio includes a wide range of commercials for fortune 500 companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Nike and AT&T, music-videos for Beyoncé, Coldplay, Niki Minaj, KanYe West, and work on dozens of films such as Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, Ocean’s 8, Tower Heist and Sex and The City, to name a few.
Yuval Levy is a Director, Creative Director and VFX Supervisor at The-Artery. With two decades of VFX experience, Yuval spent half that period of time steadily moving up the ranks at Gravity New York (formerly RhinoFX) as CG Supervisor / Head of CG to VFX and Digital Supervisor, as well as Creative Director. Along the way, he’s lent his talents to high-profile top-tier brands including BMW, Mercedes, and Coca-Cola, commercials and documentary films for National Geographic and The History Channel, and multiple successful feature films such as The Other Guys, Crazy Stupid Love and The Adjustment Bureau.
Vico and Yuval co-supervised the VFX on Paramount Pictures’ recent horror film SMILE which has crushed it in the box office. Globally, the film grossed over $137.5 million with a $17 million production budget in just the first two weeks.
Hearing these two talented artists talk about how they approached the vision and worked hard on achieving realistic visual effects is exciting. And we hope it inspires you!
