In a pre-recorded conversation with VFX magazine Befores & Afters editor Ian Failes that screened at View Conference in Italy’s Turin, the film’s Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor described how the production blended puppetry, prosthetics, stunts, miniatures and digital effects to create creatures including the Cyclops and Scylla, as well as Circe’s transformations and the film’s giant Laestrygonians.

“When you’re in a cave filming, and we knew we were going to be in a cave, in a real cave, filming with real actors around a fire, there needed to be something there,” Jackson said. “To occupy that volume and give the actors something to perform to, the camera something to frame, lighting.” The original plan called for a more complex full-size puppet, but the schedule changed dramatically after Nolan and production designer Ruth De Jong found a real cave in Greece.

What had been expected to shoot near the end of production suddenly had to be ready within months. “There was this sort of general reaction: ‘Oh no, we can’t do that in that timescale.

It’s just not possible,’” Jackson recalled. “And I said, ‘No, no, no, we’re not going to give up.’” His solution was to simplify the creature into a giant marionette.

“Forget about all of the complicated joints, elbows, wrists, shoulders,” he told the team. Instead, they built the main rigid sections of the body and suspended them with cables.

Once they saw it move, Jackson realized they were onto something. “You could just give it a bit of a push, and the whole thing moved in a really convincing way because of the scale,” he said.

In hindsight, he believes the rushed schedule actually improved the result. “It pains me to say it,” Jackson said, because getting the puppet “to a cave halfway up a mountain in Greece in two months” was so difficult.

But its loose, lightweight construction gave it a fluidity that a more elaborate mechanical version might have lost.
