the way grace says “but i just got here” with a puppy sad face when rocky told him to go back to his ship was so babygirl of him

This is getting reposted to Tau Ceti and back, so: The astrophage collection scene (and the rest of PHM!) is a combined effort of practical in-camera effects and incredible VFX, both created by skilled human artists. Good reference imagery makes the CGI work even better!

Here’s a video I took while we were shooting. You can see on the upper right Tomas pouring water into a tube that runs between 2 panes of glass in front of the handheld camera Greig operates, giving a smeary, drippy look. Ryan stands in a cage of blinking IR lights which are invisible to the naked eye, but in the monitor it’s beautiful. We used this method for closeups. Medium-wides we did on the spaceship set with fewer lights & a lot of digital augmentation/replacement from ILM, and wides were fully digital from ILM, to match this look.
