"It was all pretty tricky." That's how "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" visual-effects supervisor Frazer Churchill describes the film's inimitable look — part manga, part 16-bit video game, exploding on every frame with bright colors and pulsing graphics. That's also a crazy understatement.
Each of the film's fight scenes offers a master class in the very latest in moviemaking technology, from the use of cutting-edge CG software to on-the-ground practical effects work. "Tricky" is putting it lightly. It was damn hard work, and although "Scott Pilgrim" performed disappointingly at the box office this weekend — opening to just $10.5 million in ticket sales — what director Edgar Wright and his team managed to pull off on the screen is deserving of wide acclaim.
