VFX Work

DNEG was the sole VFX vendor on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, delivering over 4200 shots and 475 sequences across a production period of almost two years. This work encompassed the build of around 50 character and creature assets for hero and digi-double work, as well as a vast array of Env Gen work ranging from castle interiors, villages and cities through to forests, deserts and caves.

Across every one of our global sites from LA to Chennai, DNEG expanded and augmented the world of Thra, breathing new life, new creatures and magic into this already richly textured and beautiful puppet universe.
