Throwback to the incredible work on regenerating Demerzel’s android skull in Foundation Season 2! 🦾 For this scene, our team had the challenge of replacing part of her head with CG elements, revealing her robotic skull and intricate inner workings as she heals using nanotechnology which the team had to design. As well as tackling a particularly tricky shot involving a sweeping camera move, showing four angles of her face in mirrors and the back of her head—all requiring spot-on tracking for seamless CG integration.

#BTS look at our delivery drone work on The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes! 🐍 🐦⬛ At this point in #TheHungerGames universe, the delivery drones were not as advanced as those seen in the later trilogy. To highlight this, our team were tasked with animating several drones crashing into the arena and colliding with tributes, accompanied by a lot of FX dust interaction and detailed destruction as the drones broke apart. This part of our work on the project was also full of challenging integration of the drones into the CG arena.
