‘Rather than rely on sketches, the EEG art department used frame blowups of various filmed elements to try out various concepts for the wide vistas of Los Angeles in 2019 (dubbed “Megacity” by the EEG FX crew). By using photos of elements they had already shot, the artists could come up with several different concepts by arranging the cutouts of the various elements. These concepts served as a guide for the matte paintings that were used in the final composite.’
