2100 shots.
Industrial Light & Magic in San Francisco, Vancouver, London, and Singapore, and ILM’s partners Hybride, BASE, and Virtuous created 1400 shots.
Kelvin Optical’s 80 artists in Los Angeles, a production arm at J. J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, did 800 shots, including fix-its, graphics, composites, and some 3D.
Roger Guyett: We could be flattered by the benign dismissal of a massive piece of work. It’s flattering that people want to believe what they see. If we managed to achieve that, then we’ve succeeded. But 2,100 of the 2,500 shots in the film had digital effects. Hundreds of people [digital effects artists] worked on the show.
