Red Poppies / Czerwone Maki (2024) is the biggest Polish war movie of recent years. It tells the story of the Battle of Monte Cassino – a series of brutal assaults by the Allies, led by Polish troops, against the Winter Line in Italy held by Axis forces during World War II, from January to May 1944.
Polish VFX studio: Imaginary Pixels was responsible for producing VFX for over 120 shots, that required creating and animating 3D tanks, 3D set extensions, FX simulations, 3D creature animation, crowd duplication and compositing.
It’s also worth mentioning that open source software, like Blender and CGWire Kitsu, was used for the VFX production.
