Framestore’s work on the Mirror Man and Double Negative’s creation of the Troll and Dark Forest were standout sequences. The Mill, supported by M11FX, contributed to atmospheric effects and environment extensions. Ravenna’s transformations between youth and old age blended practical effects with CGI.
