Well, we haven’t done too many fully-fledged CGI sets, but we do a lot of CGI interaction with sets.
Typically, it relates to a character in the show, like a large snake or some other character who might be CGI. They do react with the sets a lot, like the way the snake came down the old high school hallway [in Graduation Day Part 2] was so huge, it was crashing [through] large portions of the set.
So I storyboarded that whole sequence based on Joss’s description of the scene, and we then created four breakaway live action pieces of the set. It was all staged and choreographed to interact with the CGI snake.
In that sense I try to incorporate myself into the effects very much. In terms of the CGI sets or the characters, I’m not a CGI person.
Does your production design extend into CGI?
