Director J.J. Abrams and visual effects supervisor Roger Guyett crafted a tense, solid action movie that emphasized raw, gritty action, shown mainly from the lead character's point of view. The cinematic style of MI3 was an interesting descendant of 70's cop dramas and spy genre classics. With that style in mind, the visual effects could never call attention to themselves. They would have to be invisible to the audience, not interfering with the connection between the viewer and the characters.

I was sequence supervisor (along with Doug Sutton) for the Bridge Extraction sequence, a thrilling action sequence set on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Virginia. Roger Guyett was our visual effects supervisor, with Pat Tubach serving as Digital Production Supervisor.
