"We used 10 vendors on this show. Weta was our primary vendor, accomplishing 221 shots of stunning reality and beauty, and incredibly adhering to the budget and the schedule. Cinesite ended up with 42 really dynamic shots of the Drone attack, the interrogation sequence, as well as the opening shot and a few snow matte paintings. Flash Film Works did 95 shots featuring some great CG helicopters, driving comps, matte paintings and rain additions. CosFX created 74 shots mostly dealing with rising spheres, still life in New York City and many composites. Hydraulx did 13 shots of the amazing looking attack on the missile silo, while Hammerhead did three very difficult shots dealing with a helicopter landing, and a still life interior and the Trooper healing shot. Screaming Monkey created 3D birds for the "Super Sphere" shot that Weta did. We also used Digital Dimension and Digital Domain, as well as nTropic, for several matte paintings, life coming to a stop and the like."
