Eric Leven Visual Effects Supervisor on THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE


Eric Leven, visual effects supervisor for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, talked to Collider.com's Steve Weintraub about a great many things - including Eclipse wolf designs, Eclipse collectibles, and more - and one of the things he mentioned is the possibility that the FX crew for Eclipse would come back for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

"Yeah we’ve started talking with them and obviously we want to work with them again . . . we’re having a good time working with those people," he explained, describing his experience with studio, cast, and crew over the past two films to be a familial situation. "We like the wolves, we like working with them, we like figuring out how to make them interact with the actors."

If they were to come back for Breaking Dawn, though, there are a lot of considerations to be made, and Leven explained his belief that it will be a matter of directorial collaboration.

"In an ideal situation, they would have sort of an idea of what they want and we would make that a reality . . . they’re relatively low budget movies . . . We’re hoping to work with the direction team sort of collaboratively."

The sequences that a visual effects supervisor would have to be involved with in Breaking Dawn are vast - particularly those relating to the second portion of the book, so it'll be interesting to see whether the team at Tippett Studios, Eric Level included, comes back for the film and what direction director Bill Condon takes the wolves, the vampires, and the stunts.
