Making of The Visual Effects
Guest Post by Craig Herron, Visual Effects Supervisor | September 27, 2016
I was the visual effects supervisor on this western shot in Maryland. Our plan was to replace backgrounds with video and still plates shot by 2nd unit Sydney Resel in Montana. The movie was shot over two years at a western town set that I designed and was built on the Director Wayne Shipley’s farm. Two time Oscar nominee Eric Roberts was our star and was featured in the final third of the movie. Eric was mostly shot at the farm and on green screen and composited on matte paintings of the dangerous Eagle’s Nest mountain. Day of The Gun has been shown in select theaters from Maryland to Texas and is distributed by Monarch Home Entertainment.
