Prime Focus has been called in to provide 22 VFX shots for Matthew Vaughn's new superhero adventure 'X-Men: First Class.' Work on the Marvel and Twentieth Century Fox film was completed in London, Vancouver and Mumbai, using the Prime Focus 'Global Digital Pipeline'.

Cinesite, one of the world’s leading film visual effects houses, has completed more than 115 visual effects shots for Twentieth Century Fox’s "X-Men: First Class", which hit cinemas last week. Among the effects Cinesite created were a retro version of the Cerebro Room, Azazel’s fight sequences, a military parade in Red Square and Washington, DC devastated by nuclear war.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the prequel takes the viewer back to the beginning, before Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) took the names Professor X and Magneto, and when they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
