The task for this project was the central set of the film, a huge valley on an alien world. Ridley Scott goes back to Wadi Rum in Jordan for a reason. Capturing how the light, atmosphere and forms of the siqs blend to create subtle compositions that bring a unique sense of scale, was the challenge. This was a process of studying the real thing, then making it available in CG, at any storytelling angle required, as the sequences developed in post production.
