Ben Snow twirl’s us around like a cyclone discussing the VFX in both ‘Twister‘ and its sequel, ‘Twisters‘ available now on VOD.
Ben Snow, a native Australian now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, has made an indelible mark on the film industry through his 
work in visual effects. Known for his groundbreaking contributions to the original ‘Twister‘, Snow returns to the franchise with the highly anticipated sequel, ‘Twisters‘. His journey back into the storm-chasing world that first defined his career has been both exciting and deeply nostalgic.
In the original ‘Twister‘, Snow played a pivotal role in crafting the film’s revolutionary visual effects, setting a new standard for storm depictions in cinema. Now, as the Visual Effects (VFX) supervisor for ‘Twisters‘, he has once again pushed the boundaries of what is possible, bringing even more intense and breathtaking storms to life. During the filming of the sequel, Snow embraced the thrilling experience of storm chasing in Oklahoma, immersing himself in the very elements that drive the franchise’s pulse-pounding action.
Snow’s approach to his work is both innovative and steadfast. Once he completes a project, he prefers it to stand as a testament to the era in which it was created, rather than revisiting it to incorporate the latest technology. This philosophy ensures that each project remains a true reflection of its time, preserving its authenticity and original impact.
‘Twisters‘ follows Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones), who, haunted by a past tornado encounter, is drawn back to the open plains by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. Her path crosses with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), a daring social-media star who thrives on storm-chasing adventures. As storm season reaches its peak, Kate, Tyler, and their rival teams face a life-or-death battle as multiple storm systems converge over central Oklahoma.
‘Twisters‘ is now available on VOD, offering audiences a thrilling continuation of the franchise.
