For Red one, the studio was tasked with the creation of one of the most iconic locations in the film, none other than North Pole city. We were tasked with creating the city and many of its neighbourhoods. The idea was to make sure it felt like it was built and expanded upon across hundreds of years. The city is then surrounded by massive ice walls that act as a circular perimeter, and then extend into a snowy, mountainous landscape beyond. The chase sequence as Cal goes after Santa's kidnappers, posed unique challenges because of its huge scope and size. Many shots involved plates for character performances that needed to be integrated seamlessly into the city’s lighting setup. Another highlight of the movie was our favourite animated-character, acting as the muscle for Dwayne Johnson’, Garcia is an anthropomorphic polar bear that combines the strength of a WWE wrestler with the primal ferocity of a wild animal.
