Moonfall

DNEG was proud to deliver 225 shots across 8 key sequences for Roland Emmerich’s sci-fi disaster movie ‘Moonfall’.

We were tasked with creating multiple complex environments, including the massive moon interior which was over 3000km in diameter and filled with highly detailed, gigantic animated rings. We also added FX atmospherics and lightning bolts to enhance the foggy interior of the environment and depicted the white dwarf core at its centre.

Our FX team also designed ‘The Anomaly’ - an FX, non-biological creature made of always transforming objects and animated with fractal structures for its head. We added defensive extensions to interact with the environment and the Lander Rover, a Lunar Rover attached to a Lunar Landar, which our team also created and animated with the main characters’ digi-doubles.
