?? As the world prepares to return to Oz with the release of #Wicked, we’re proud to celebrate the timeless legacy of The Wizard of Oz (1939)—a film that not only defined an era but set the gold standard for visual storytelling. A true masterpiece of innovation and artistry, this iconic production brought L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale to life in ways never before imagined ?? At the heart of its enchantment was #Technicolor's groundbreaking 3-strip colour process, a revolutionary technology that captured scenes through red, green, and blue filters on three separate film strips. These strips were combined during printing to produce lush, vibrant colours that burst off the screen. The iconic transformation from sepia-toned Kansas to the dazzling Technicolor world of Oz remains one of the most famous moments in cinematic history, showcasing the unparalleled impact of this process. This visionary work earned The Wizard of Oz four Academy Award nominations, cementing its place in film history. Today, its legacy endures, ranking second in Variety’s Top 100 Greatest Movies of All Time ?? standing proudly alongside Psycho ?? and The Godfather ?? (two other Technicolor triumphs). As we prepare to celebrate #Technicolor110, The Wizard of Oz remains a testament to Technicolor’s commitment to artistry, innovation, and the magic of cinema. ?? Step back into the world where cinematic magic was born and experience the groundbreaking artistry that brought Oz to life ? #TechnicolorGroup #Technicolor #WizardOfOz #MGM #VFX #Filmmaking #Colour #Film

As excitement builds for #Gladiator2, we're looking back at the groundbreaking VFX legacy of #Gladiator, where our studio MPC (Mill Film) transformed Ridley Scott's vision into cinematic history. Their work not only earned an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects but also set new standards for realism and digital mastery in filmmaking ???? For the first Gladiator, MPC's team tackled the ambitious task of digitally expanding the Colosseum crowds. While production utilised hundreds of extras, MPC’s digital artists meticulously cloned and layered these into tens of thousands, creating up to 70,000 animated spectators that brought Rome’s arena to life. Using crowd replication and digital composition, they made viewers feel the vast scale of the Roman Empire’s iconic battleground. One of the film’s most memorable shots—a 360-degree sweep as gladiators entered the Colosseum—showcases how seamlessly MPC integrated practical set elements with #CG extensions for an immersive experience. Another iconic scene, the intense tiger fight, came with unique challenges. MPC collaborated with a practical effects team to build a life-sized, non-animatronic dummy tiger. This clay-sculpted, foam-cast creature, designed with a jointed steel armature, allowed for realistic physical interaction on set. The team captured shots where Russell Crowe’s character tussles with the dummy tiger, rolling and wrestling on the ground—later blending these practical shots with digital enhancements to heighten the tension and realism of the fight. In addition to these technical feats, MPC’s artistry shines through in their digital manipulation of light, motion, and architectural detail to maintain continuity between practical and digital shots. From the vivid textures of the Colosseum to the fluid motion of the crowd, MPC’s team created visual harmony that still holds up today. As we celebrate #Technicolor110, this look back at Gladiator reflects our commitment to elevating visual storytelling. MPC’s dedication to artistry and innovation has endured over the decades, helping craft the next generation of epic cinema. ??
