Transformers: Age of Extinction — which has already earned nearly $600 million worldwide — marks the fourth title of the franchise and director Michael Bay again turned to Industrial Light and Magic’s VFX supervisor Scott Farrar to lead the VFX effort. It was also Farrar’s largest crew, with more than 500 working on the film in the various facilities. On the work itself, Farrar said: “our ability to animate has improved. I think the look and sharpness of characters is better. … The density of the shots in incredible. In certain scenes there are three, four or five robots talking. And our [visual effects] shots comprised of about 90 minutes worth of the film, a huge portion.”
