Gavin Rothery Portfolio

Ladies and gentlemen, what a treat we have for you today, just uploaded to the ‘Moon: The Movie‘ Flickr photo group are a ton of incredible hi res images from the portfolio of the VFX genius that is Gavin Rothery.

Can’t even begin to describe how stunning this work is. From concept art, model miniature shots, set & production photos and much more, there really is no point attempting to use my puny descriptive abilities as I will never do this work justice, do yourself a favour, grab a nice cup of tea, put half an hour aside, delve in, and feast yer eyes.

The pics are available to view:

  • Via the ‘Photos‘ link up there in the site navigation
  • On Gavin’s online portfolio HERE
  • Stunning Flickr Slideshow HERE

Once you’ve had a look at the ‘MOON‘ work I would encourage you to check out the rest of Gavin’s portfolio…maybe have another cup of tea…and a biscuit, treat yourself, you deserve it.

Don’t forget to pick up ‘MOON‘ on Blu-Ray or DVD in the UK on 16th November where you can watch an exclusive film with Gavin and crew explaining the process of creating the visual effects, and listen to a unique audio commentary over the film itself.

Many thanks to Gavin for permission to share this incredible work :)
