A look at the teleportation effects in Hayden Christensen’s 2008 sci-fi film Jumper, highlighting how simple VFX can be executed effectively.
Star Wars star Hayden Christensen may be best known for his Force abilities, but VFX artists have nothing but praise for the special effects featured in another of his sci-fi outings. Beginning his acting career at just 12 years of age, Christensen would eventually make his feature film debut in the 1994 John Carpenter horror film, In The Mouth of Madness.
However, in May 2000, Christensen rapidly rose to international fame when it was announced that he would play the young adult version of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Playing not only the impetuous young Jedi Knight who would later become the Star Wars galaxy’s most feared Sith Lord, Christensen would also insist on personally wearing Darth Vader’s iconic armor during the final moments of 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. Following the conclusion of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Christensen would lend his talents to several smaller projects before ultimately making his return to the Star Wars franchise in 2022’s Obi-Wan Kenobi and 2023’s Ahsoka. Christensen’s Jumper Makes The Most Of Clever VFX Tricks Teleportation Effects Can Be Heightened With Simple Additions Close While Christensen’s time in the Star Wars universe has left him intimately familiar with large-scale visual effects, his 2008 sci-fi outing Jumper highlights the immense potential that comes with doing comparatively simple effects well. The movie itself was critically panned, with only a 15% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an audience score of 44%. The VFX artists at Corridor Crew turn their attention to the teleportation effects. Focusing on the fight scene between Christensen’s David Rice and Jamie Bell’s renegade Jumper, Griffin O'Connor at the Colosseum, Wren Weichman reveals the scene includes multiple versions of the characters in a single moving shot which is achieved by using multiple stuntmen and replacing their faces during post-productio
