Skyfire – Story and Trailer
Tianhuo Island is a wonderful paradise. You almost forget that it is located in the “Ring of Fire”, the world famous volcanic belt of the Pacific Ocean. A young scientist (Hannah Quinlivan) invents a state-of-the-art volcanic warning system and returns to the island where her mother tragically died, hoping she can prevent future deaths. The island is now home to the world’s only theme park and resort dedicated to volcanoes, the brainchild of its dashing owner, Jack (Jason Isaacs). Chaos soon ensues as the once dormant volcano begins to awaken. Leaving the island is a battle with nature, when fiery death and destruction pour from the mountain.

At some point, due to these difficulties, visual effects producer John Hughes, a Hollywood industry veteran who founded Rhythm & Hues and now runs Tau Films, the company with which he joined the project, was hired. Hughes faced a Herculean challenge: “We only had four months to complete the episodes that had already started at Base and a third of the movie that they hadn’t started yet. It seemed impossible.” But Hughes outsourced some of the work to three other companies (South Korea’s WYSIWYG, India’s Anibrain, and Thailand’s Monk Studios), and the originally planned 1,800 visual effects shots were cut by a third.
