5. How did the production team create the effect of people being shot?

6. How was the Slo-Mo effect created?

7. What was the total shot count for the film? How many were VFX shots?

There was a total shot count of 650 with close to 300 of these being VFX shots.

The slo-mo effect was created over a long time. They did it by separating the out the colours and objects in the scene and taking them in different directions with hue and saturation. Add to that some sparkles in the highlights and some heightened stereo and that’s how they got the drug look.

He was in contact with Judge Dredd creator John Wagner. The pair worked closely together to get the best out of the film. John Wagner was the creator of the original comic strip Judge Dredd, so Alex Garland wanted to work with John to make sure he kept the script as closely to the comic strip as he could. This made the film better because the original fans of the comic strip would go and watch the film expecting it to be like the comics, so if the script was completely different the fans would be disappointed.

The production team created the effect of people being shot by shooting bullets into blood bags and prosthetic skin. They shot it in layers so they could control the action in VFX
