COLD STORAGE brought together 431 artists to deliver 541 VFX shots over an 18-month production period, driven by MPC teams worldwide. The technical scope was extensive, ranging from set extensions and fully CG environments to creatures, macroscopic sequences, explosions and large-scale destruction, alongside highly detailed digital enhancement of SFX makeup. This diversity engaged every department within the studio and led to the creation of numerous bespoke assets and tailor-made technical solutions.

“Cold Storage was a true challenge, as it required us to cover the entire VFX spectrum, from invisible clean-ups to the complete destruction of environments, including creatures and digital set extensions,” explains Nikolas D’Andrade, Co-VFX Supervisor.

VFX supervision was led jointly by Bastien Chauvet and Nikolas D’Andrade, supported
