How Fake Crowds Are Made For Movies And TV | Movies Insider

by admin



Using completely real crowds in Hollywood productions can be a huge logistical challenge. That’s why movies and TV shows have found many ways to make crowds look bigger than they are. Older movies like “Ben-Hur” used matte paintings, while movies like “Glory Road” have used inflatable extras. Today, duplication and CGI are the most frequently used techniques. On the Apple TV series “Ted Lasso,” Barnstorm VFX had the daunting challenge of filling a 26,000-seat stadium using a mix of real and fake people. As Barnstorm VFX supervisor Lawson Deming told us, it’s the mix of the two that best convinces the viewer.

Thanks to Barnstorm VFX for speaking with us and providing footage from “Ted Lasso” and “Insecure.” Check out more of its work here:

@curtgottler9961 May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

I'm wondering if tv networks are starting to do this for live sports, like figure skating , when the crowd is sparse.

@carlwaring May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

Why do you have in-vision subtitles as well as generated ones? Don't need both!

@GolDFish-if1ov May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

That's really awesome lol

@KilmerMedia May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

This is fantastic. I work with people who deliver this kind of VFX work for a living, and exactly how it gets made behind-the-scenes has been a bit of a mystery. Thanks for the thorough explainer, @Insider!

@janvisser4132 May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

I know they tried, but for a football fan like me it was pretty obvious the crowds were fake. Just not enough diversity and interaction with what was happening on the field. Didn't mind it in the series tho, it is pretty much impossible to get it right.

@happymystic May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

This is why movie studios are so pissed off when people are downloading their movies for free.

@Designscom-fj5le May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

@miggymaglente6008 May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

Why don’t they do this with video games such as NBA2k?

@faceheadman May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

If only the writing team is half as competent as the vfx team.

@kuzon1286 May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

Copy and paste is everywhere

@peterburns9861 May 1, 2024 - 7:10 am

I remember seeing the first long-shot of the Titanic full of passengers and thinking, "That's CGI". Things have clearly moved on since then…
