Underworld Awakening
The successful Swedish duo Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein directed the fourth installment of the Underworld saga, and we were happy to be part of the ride. Here’s a breakdown of how we created the VFX shots in the garage battle scene, where Dr. Jacob Lane (Stephen Rea) gets what he deserves when he’s pitted against Selene’s Vampire-Lycan hybrid daughter Eve (India Eisley).
