For the opening sequence, where Freddy's hand attacks the special effects people, we filmed live action plates using motion control. We shot one clean pass with no actors and then a second pass with the actors in place and the operator of the mechanical hand. We used the clean background plate to digitally remove the operator of the mechanical hand. |

For this digital matte painting, "Entering Freddy's World", there were over 50 elements to composite. These included a blue screen element of the girl falling, various water elements for the waterfall effect, smoke and fire elements to bring the city alive and a 3D animated pterodactyl. A digital camera move was performed on the whole shot as well. |
