A new podcast on making dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures with ILM.
This week on the befores & afters podcast, we chat to Industrial Light & Magic visual effects supervisor Jonathan Privett about Netflix’s Life on Our Planet. This a nature documentary series narrated by Morgan Freeman about, well, 4 billion years of life on Earth.
The show consists of many, many creatures that ILM has built and animated and then composited into mostly live-action plates. Which is actually where my discussion with Jonathan begins, jumping off a fun featurette Netflix released where they are battling the elements to film scenes in England’s Lake District.
