In Transformers: One, SDFX Studios teamed up with ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) and Paramount Pictures, bringing their immersive 3D expertise to the forefront. This partnership was instrumental in delivering the film's grand scale and deeply immersive experience. Under the leadership of Stereographer Jeremy Carroll, SDFX Studios leveraged advanced 3D technology to heighten the action sequences and enhance the emotional depth of the story.
Carroll emphasized how the collaboration with ILM gave them access to detailed FX layers and character breakouts, which were pivotal to refining the 3D effects. “We wanted to ensure that every element—from character design to environment—felt deeply immersive, while always supporting the story,” Carroll explained.
Set against the backdrop of a divided Cybertron, the film tells the origin story of Orion Pax and D-16, who eventually rise to become Optimus Prime and Megatron. This pre-war era features a rigid caste system, with the lowest class, the Cogless, who are unable to transform, doing all the menial labor. In contrast, those with transformation cogs live more privileged, though equally challenging, lives. The Cogless miners, like Orion Pax and D-16, are at the heart of this dynamic, struggling against inequality and resource scarcity—a core driver of the film’s emotional depth.
