It was great to work on this A24 film, even though I worked on only about six shots. My work included enhancing water dripping from a hole in the ceiling and removing unwanted elements from several shots.

As a freelancer for Accenture Song VFX, I worked from July 2022 to February 2024 on 246 shots: 209 anamorphic matchmove shots, 33 roto shots, and four compositing shots. In total this represented around 1400 hours of work.

We completed more than 150 VFX compositing shots for the film. The work was split between the live-action sequences and the CG-toy sequences.

In the live-action work, we removed modern elements from sets, including security cameras, satellite dishes, and electrical wires. We also created winterisation and added snow to dressed sets.

For the CG work, the toys come to life. This involved preparing live-action plates for the CG toys through cleanup, compositing the multi-pass CG renders, fixing 3D-render issues and eye details, and integrating CG with the live-action footage.
