ABOUT
HARDCORE HENRY
HARDCORE HENRY
First they made him dangerous. Then they made him mad.
Strap in. Hardcore Henry is one of the most unflinchingly original wild-rides to hit the big screen in a long time: You remember nothing. Mainly because you've just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry.
Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back.
Who's got her? His name's Akan (Danila Kozlovsky); he's a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You're also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). He may be on your side, but you aren't sure. If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Good luck, Henry. You're likely going to need it...

SMOKIN' HEROES was seriously involved in the "Hardcore Henry":
Voogie (Head of Cameraptor) together with director Ilya Naishuller created a film treatment.
He tested and chose all equipment for shooting, working with the director of photography - Seva Kaptur. Together with Andrey Dementyev they shot most of the scenes in POV for the film's main character. Voogie solved various production tasks as a co-producer. CAMERAPTOR TEAM comes up into this project with various ideas, create storyboards, concept art, stickers, and movie posters. 'Hardcore Henry' was filmed with a number of prototypes of the Adventure Mask developed by us.

INTERVIEW about post-production process
Capturing the action of Hardcore Henry was challenging enough, but how did the VFX facilities on the film deal with the equally challenging GoPro and POV plates? In these case studies, we look at the methods behind triaging footage, augmenting the already heavily physical and practical action with extra elements and producing compelling visual effects shots.
