VFX Supervisor on a host of Hollywood features, Sheldon is set to take CICLOPE Festival's audience behind-the-scenes of the craft in Disney’s latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie
MPC Film's team of artists, led by VFX Supervisors Sheldon Stopsack and Patrick Ledda, worked with directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, and Production VFX Supervisor Gary Brozenich, to craft effects including epic ship battles, Captain Salazar and his motley crew of sailors, ghost sharks and various environments in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. On Thursday 26 October from 10.45am – 11.15am, Sheldon Stopsack will reveal the creative challenges behind the visual effects of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, a colossal team effort that took more than two years and involved more than 700 artists and production crew.
CICLOPE Festival, the international event dedicated to the craft in moving image, kicks off next Thursday 26 October in Berlin. You can buy tickets here.
The CICLOPE finalists have been announced - and MPC landed eight nominations across four categories. We’re delighted to have partnered with adam&eveDDB, Leo Burnett Chicago, Publicis Italy, DDB Paris and JWT on the work that made the cut. Read the full breakdown below:
