They reveal the unconventional lens, Steadicam work, and blend of practical effects and VFX that brought the image to life. Rowan shares how the team tackled shooting in remote natural locations with a small crew, the meticulous prep behind technically ambitious shots, and the tiny details filmmakers obsess over but audiences rarely notice. It’s a conversation about craft, problem solving, and why showing the real process behind an image matters more than ever in an era where viewers increasingly assume everything is AI.
