As the central environment of The BFG, the Dream Cavern required great flexibility in terms of scale and lighting. See how our team rose to the challenge in our breakdown reel.
Despite the extraordinarily large size of Fleshlumpeater, we applied skin textures down to microscopic levels smaller than an individual skin pore. See what else we considered when creating the villain from The BFG in our breakdown reel.
We had a hand in every aspect of The BFG-from concept design to final image-including each of the giants and the rich fantasy environments. We developed a whole new technological approach to make the set as close to a live-action shoot as possible.
