Pacific Rim: Incredible Special Effects Reel

This incredible special effects reel from Mirada Studios shows some of the before and after shots of the special effects created by Mirada of Jaeger and kaiju for Pacific Rim.

Storytelling studio Mirada was the creative and technical force behind the two-minute prologue of Guillermo del Toro’s robots vs. monsters epic, Pacific Rim. Working closely with del Toro, who co-founded Mirada with Pacific Rim director of photography Guillermo Navarro, director Mathew Cullen and Javier Jimenez, the Mirada team designed, created, shot and edited the key sequence, which included over 80 fast-moving visual effects shots.

We certainly hope to see much more of this sort of “behind the scenes” footage when the Pacific Rim Blu-ray is released on October 15.
