Peter Eszenyi, VFX Supervisor, UK
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Premiering in August 2019 to critical acclaim, Jim Henson’s otherworldly fable introduces enchanting landscapes and loyal character adaptations.
Peter Eszenyi, VFX supervisor/director gives a rare glimpse of the meticulous process behind the creation of the world: "For the shot creation process we designed the layouts and camera moves based on the director’s and the VFX supervisor’s brief. On the space opener shot we worked closely with Dneg TV, who were responsible for the planetary journey and our graphics elements, where the designs were based on those iconic Brian Froud symbols. We animated these elements to fit the narrative and create something that visually introduces the world of the Dark Crystal to the audiences."
A visually spectacular journey, quite unlike anything else on television.
