Shot on digital?

You can check out the website of the Se-Ma-For Studios http://www.se-ma-for.com/ that shot it. They have some photoes and an English version of the website is somewhat usabe.

Here's what I found there (in Polish): What I found is that it was shot on 13Mpix Canon cameras hooked to computers at 25 stills per second. Nikon lenses were used. It was shot on up to 7(!) sets simultaniously. From the stills an animation was produced on set then, if approved by the director herself, it was sent to postproduction. Since it's a puppet animation this was used to remove the stings and other holds used on set, refine the details of the scene and to add particle effects.

The whole thing took 5 years to make, and 200 people in Poland, the UK and Norway were involved in the production.


Congratulations to the team for winning the Academy Award. It's the studio's first Oscar since Tango (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084764/) 25 years ago.

I think it was digital and CGI. Whatever it was it looks fantastic.
