Paul W.S. Anderson on Bringing George R.R. Martin’s ‘In the Lost Lands’ to Life and How to Make a Blue Screen Film That Actually Looks Good
'In the Lost Lands' director Paul W.S. Anderson on Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista's team-up and why other modern blue screen films look so flat.

The production developed a unique “star-field tracking” system for its studio space, with about 350 reference points in the ceiling — “like an old-timey sailing ship, where you’d navigate according to the stars,” Anderson describes. Prior to principal photography, Anderson spent more than a year working with his VFX supervisor Dennis Berardi to develop the full look and scope of the Lost Lands.
