Various cameras were employed to capture the photogrammetry, including an iPhone, iPad, Canon 5D, and pocket Leica. This data was ingested, rendered as a point cloud, tracked, and composited back into the scene with actual depth maps captured on set. JAMM, the key FX partner, did stunning CGI work by adding digital mosquitoes in the cupping scene, metal tentacles growing out of Cassie’s back, and a fully rendered liquid metal simulation during the beach scene which complemented the steel bodice the artist wore. The scene with Cassie crying metal was achieved by dripping metal make-up, infused with glycerin, and supplemented in post. Thermal work in the bodega was enhanced via EB synth, giving it a dreamy, smear like quality that portrays heat and impending sickness. Conceptual artist Sarah Banks provided Z Brush models for the pot smoking scene that were animated and composited into the digitally enhanced bedroom set.
