We flipped the traditional VFX approach. Instead of standing around on set (with a bunch of green screens) with everyone holding a different picture in their head, we aligned vision in pre-production. We crafted moving backgrounds live on set that were pretty close to final, and stayed flexible in post to refine movement and add elements. When you capture real performances, lighting and textures in-camera, that quality carries through, because the talent, director and DP could respond to the background and vice versa. New tools to enhance rather than replace that foundation.
