Our work on this film includes digital matte painting, bluescreen compositing, scene enhancements, CG effects and simulation, and a thrilling sequence in which the central characters escape in a rocket-propelled bathtub pod moments before their farmhouse explodes. The house, silo, pod, and its plasma trail are all CG, while the background environment is a digital matte painting.
We also created a sequence in which Frank, as a boy, flies using a jet pack, for which we replaced and enhanced the sky, added a CG jet trail, stitched plates, and added practical debris and particles to show the boy’s point-of-view as he flies through grass and over a fence, before crash-landing into a cornfield. For a sequence with the principal characters in the Eiffel Tower, we took plates of actors shot against a bluescreen, then stitched live plates from the production shoot in Paris and re-projected them as a matte painting.
