‘Venom: The Last Dance’ is the epic conclusion to the ‘Venom’ franchise and sees Eddie and Venom, still on the run following their battle with Carnage, being hunted by enemies from both of their worlds and eventually forced to make an impossible decision. DNEG was tasked with creating a whole cast of creatures for the final instalment, including the CG build and animation of the classic Venom and Wraith Venom characters, as well as a host of new characters such as Venom Horse, Xenophage and the green Symbiote. The team also delivered multiple complex FX sims for creature transformation shots, full CG environments, and a variety of 2D enhancements. DNEG’s work included the aeroplane fight between Venom and Xenophage - a fully CG sequence that required an extensive environment and skyscape build, challenging creature animation for both characters, and complex FX work for the cloudscapes and plane damage. The DNEG team also delivered the first sequence showing Wraith Venom in broad daylight, the classic Venom/Eddie split face effect, and the iconic Venom and Mrs. Chen dance sequence.
