FORMATION EFFECTS REIMAGINE CINEMA'S LEGENDARY SERPENT 🐉🖌️
Stepping into iconic creature territory, Brisbane-based special effects and VFX studio @formation_effects were invited to design all practical gags in @sonypictures ' Anaconda!
Working alongside director @tomgormican and @ilmvfx , Formation developed detailed digital sculpts before manufacturing full-scale practical builds, including a 3-D printed head and a 3-metre puppeteered body section, seamlessly integrating VFX and functioning models for maximum on-screen menace.

Creature Feature: Beast of War 🦈
• Shazza the great white shark took approx. 4 months to complete, involving 20 dedicated Formation Effects crew across various stages of the build process.
• The animatronic head measured 2.4m in length and weighed roughly half a tonne.
• Specialised puppeteer/diver @chrisbridgewater controlled the puppet shark head underwater on scuba, allowing it to perform precise movements - including realistic ‘bite’ actions with actors.
