"We had the editing system on-set, and we would cut what we just shot into the movie, so that at any given time you could watch the whole thing." Finally, the finished footage would then go into post-production for the bulk of the visual-effects work - animating every tiny hair (modelled on those of real animals) and shadow by hand - and editing. "You'd see the kid with a guy in a blue suit, or a puppeteer, then with Simulcam you'd see the bear walking next to him," says Favreau. Using a rig called SimulCam, also developed on Avatar, Favreau's crew could then combine the live-action footage - shot in native 3D using a Cameron-Pace rig - with the previz set and motion-capture in real time. Even the lighting was meticulously planned, with LED panels programmed to create the particular shadows for passing elephants or buffalo. The film's production designers then recreated small sections of the set as required for each of Sethi's live-action shots using blue screens and props, while puppeteers or actors stood in for the animals.
