Behind the VFX of Ghostbusters Afterlife

Academy award-winning studio MPC was entrusted with bringing the character of Dr. Egon Spengler, who had been played by the late Harold Ramis, back to the big screen for Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

In Behind the VFX of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, MPC’s Animation Supervisor Christophe Paradis will explain how the team collaborated with the filmmakers to craft a photorealistic digital Egon, as well as animating a horde of mischievous mini Stay-Puft marshmallows for Sony’s supernatural comedy sequel.
