10 More Film Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight
3. The Shot Of The VFX Team Making The Movie - Everything Everywhere All At Once
Everything Everywhere All At Once is surely the most visually dense film to ever win the Best Picture Oscar, and one of the most creative movies in recent memory - all the more impressive given its small team of just five VFX artists.
Due to post-production being completed during one of the worst phases of the pandemic, the VFX team worked together remotely, using Zoom to collaborate on shots.
And hilariously enough, directors The Daniels even included a screen grab from one of the team's Zoom calls in the final film itself.
During the multiversal montage of all the different versions of protagonist Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh), we catch blink-and-you'll-miss-it flashes of seemingly hundreds of Evelyns, and sneaked among them is a single-frame shot of Michelle Yeoh stood against a green screen while the movie's VFX artists can be seen discussing the shot on the Zoom interface.
While you had no chance of catching this without scanning through the montage frame-by-frame, given how much visual information is clearly packed into the sequence, it certainly incentivises viewers to scrub through it in finer detail.
