Brief Create VFX for the eight-part series hosted by Andrew Marr.

How it was done Fluid Pictures VFX supervisor Jono Alenskas attended the four-month shoot in South Africa to design the effects.

Shot with an Alexa, the plates were returned to the UK where Fluid created complex CGI with Softimage XSI and Mental Ray, digital matte paintings using Photoshop and composites with Nuke and After Effects.
