He explained, “The VFX work was ongoing throughout the entire production. During the 16 weeks of principal photography, we were shooting with two crews filming simultaneously on several stages at the Fox lot in Sydney.
While filming is taking place in one stage, the preparations will be going on in another for the following day’s shoot. One of these crews was run by Derek Wentworth, our 2nd unit VFX supervisor. I was always there, looking after activities of the 1st unit.”
