Planet X Visual Effects Studio based in Amsterdam & Netherlands recently delivered more than 100 shots for Comedy Film Gek van Oranje (Orange Fever). Planet X created enormous quantities of Orange fans with both filmed material and CG (computer generated) 3D spectators. See below for a technical breakdown of a stadium completely created in CG with football fans.
Other adaptations concerned the placing of an actor in an aquarium in Artis, a Dutch hotel that had to stand in the middle of Cape Town, the processing of TV images and numerous adjustments to arrive at an orange sea on Museumplein.
Gek van Oranje is a feel-good mosaic film, which takes place during those few weeks that the Netherlands shakes off its do-but-usual mentality and is completely absorbed in the total orange.
As the whole country is preparing for the World Cup soccer in 2010, all characters are confronted with the Dutch ‘Orange Fever’, which seems to either bring them closer together, or drift them apart.
Planet X created huge crowds of Orange fans using both filmed footage and CG (3D) characters.
Other uses of VFX included placing an actor shot in a regular swimming pool into an aquarium in a zoo, a Dutch hotel that needed to be in the centre of Cape Town, TV inserts and many other VFX manipulations to create a 'sea of orange' on the Museumplein in the centre of Amsterdam.
