King Kong VFX Artist Breaks Down Making The Empire State Building Scene
King Kong visual effects artist Robyn Luckham has broken down what went into creating the movie's climactic Empire State Building Scene. 2005's King Kong was the third reboot of the classic story of the giant gorilla. The film was helmed by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson and was his first blockbuster after The Return of the King. King Kong tells the tale of a greedy filmmaker (played by Jack Black) who assembles a crew to make a movie on Skull Island, where they find one of cinema's most famous monsters. While the film was met with mixed -though mostly positive reviews - it did manage to snag three Academy Awards, including one for Best Visual Effects.
