As you all know, the Harry Potter movies contain many visual effect shots and computer generated characters. The first movie was 'jam packed' with effects, some which worked and others didn't (I thought Firenze was pretty poor, whereas the python and the troll were much better). The Chamber Of Secrets however was much more consistant with its effects, which was due to two important factors: Advancement in visual effects had improved from the first movie, and secondly Warners reduced the number of effect houses - as the old proverb says "Too many cooks spoil the broth"...
As Prisoner has now started filming at Leavesden, the effect houses chosen to work on the movie have been announced. Industrial Light And Magic are back, and with them Cinesite Europe, and the Moving Picture Company. Nick Dudman (FX Makeup) returns for the third time, as does John Richardson (Physical FX).
As with the cast, it's great to see the production team staying on board for another instalment too.
