Reviews

Phantasm Review by Matt Windon / Cinematographer 

"We used Virtual Viz by Phantasm on Fast X to design and plan filming our SFX sequences, this incredible tool would help myself as the cinematographer and my director understand how to capture a given effect, we could then use this to plan camera positions on cranes, drones & fixed positions setting lens sizes & camera moves. The team at Phantasm were able to tie this in with lighting, and the suns path if exterior, making this an incredibly versatile platform for shot design. Virtual Viz takes out the guesswork and enables us to do the ‘what if we tried this’ visually,  paving the way for a more accurate way to proceed on the day" Matt Windon / Cinematographer 

Phantasm Review by Nico Ferrari, Picture Vehicles Workshop Supervisor

"I have used Phantasm on our last three major productions - Hobbs & Shaw, Fast and Furious 9 & The Batman. I continue to use Alistair and his team not just because the quality of work is always superb, but for the reasons that deadlines are never missed, the pricing is always competitive and the crew behind the works created have a vast depth of knowledge and experience, both in and out of the film industry. It is for these reasons they’re always able to deliver on whatever projects we send their way!" Nico Ferrari, Picture Vehicles Workshop Supervisor
