We started with an overview of the director’s wishes in terms of visual effects, special effects, make-up or real sets. Then we divided our work into three areas:
Throughout the project – from pre-production to editing – close communication between our team and Leos determined certain shooting methods and specified which elements were to be crafted in post-production. It took five months to finalise more than 160 VFX shots with the aim of delivering them before the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
