Abstract
In terms of both size and complexity the scope of the visual-effects work on Narnia was more than anyone working on the project had ever experienced. By the end, we had completed 1,617 visual effects shots for the film, more than 1,000 involving extensive 3D character animation work, from extreme close-ups of talking animals with fur, to crowd scenes numbering more than 15,000 creatures.
