Flying Monsters
3D VFX and creature work for “Flying Monster 3D”
Our first production with renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough was also our first venture into Stereoscopic IMAX productions. “Flying Monster 3D” was produced by Atlantic Productions for Sky, and we handled about 1/3 of the CG shots and all major creature builds. The film won several awards, including a BAFTA for Best Specialist Factual in 2011.
