It’s
raining applauds for the visual effects work of ‘The Golden Compass’.
The amazing work has won the film a BAFTA Award in the Special Visual
Effects Category at the Orange British Academy of Film and Television
Arts ceremony Sunday night in London. Rhythm & Hues’ Visual
Effects Supervisor Bill Westenhofer was one of four recipients to
receive BAFTA’s golden mask statue, along with fellow Compass supervisors
Michael Fink, Ben Morris and Trevor Wood.
Westenhofer
led a crew of 500 on two continents over a period of 18 months to
produce nearly 400 shots featured in the movie. Rhythm & Hues’
work includes creation of the hero daemons, including Dakota Blue
Richard's daemon Pan in all his incarnations; the Golden Monkey
(Nicole Kidman’s daemon); Stelmaria, (Daniel Craig’s daemon), along
with the spyflies and numerous other characters.

Speaking
to AnimationXpress.com, Prashant Buyyala, MD, Rhythm
& hues, India shared, "Congratulations to Bill Westenhofer
and everyone at Rhythm & Hues for this wonderful recognition!
Speaking on behalf of everyone at the Indian facility, I would like
to state that it has been a great honor for us to be part of such
an amazing team of talented and passionate individuals across our
two countries. Working on The Golden Compass for well over a year
has been a dream experience for most of us. Just watching the progress
of the shots every day reminded us that we were part of a very special
project... one that was exciting and one that was pushing the boundaries
of digital character performance and photo-realism to unprecedented
levels. So at the end of this amazing year, our work being nominated
for an Academy Award and now being recognized with a BAFTA, is truly
the icing on the cake!"
In
addition, Rhythm & Hues’ Academy Award®-winning proprietary
fluid simulation program was utilized for the creation of the mystical
swarming dust clouds seen in the movie's Daemon Death and Battlefield
sequences. This technology was recognized by the Academy earlier
this month with a Scientific and Technical Academy Award. Recipients
include Dr. Jerry Tessendorf, Michael Kowalski, Jonathan Cohen and
UCLA Oceanographer and R&H Consultant Jeroen Molemaker.
