Digital Domain

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Director: Ron Howard

Visual Effects Supervisor: Matthew Butler

THE SYNOPSIS

Digital Domain’s innovation turned a blue screen stage into the magical village of Whoville, a setting that was further enhanced by adding mountains, clouds and sunsets to the background environments. In a sequence that begins with a sled teetering on a mountaintop, its subsequent plummet to the village below showcases animation and compositing artistry.
