Ice: The Movie is an inspirational sports drama that tracks the journey of two elite level figure skaters. (IMDb)

Foxtrot X-Ray is proud to have provided roughly 270 visual effects shots to this charming indie movie about Olympic hopeful figure skaters. While at first glance ICE may not seem like a VFX-heavy film requiring almost 300 shots, but in addition to the standard screen replacements and logo paint-outs common to pretty much every sort of production now, Foxtrot X-Ray also contributed significantly to the film's climactic skating competition scenes with extensive crowd replication.

Here's a quick breakdown reel we put together showcasing some of the 270 VFX shots we created for ICE the Movie.
