Project Hail Mary took up a large portion of my life for well over of a year. There were a few characters that used puppeteers. It takes a village and the crew in the CFX department, creatively supervised by Neal Scanlan built some amazing performative in camera masterpieces and supported James, myself and the puppeteers on set like a Formula 1 pit crew. The months of agonising specific detail they added to each character is absolutely beautiful. Neal and the team made magic. Concept designers, Mould shop, Droid dep, Mech dep, Painters, 3D modellers, FABrication, The Office crew. The whole team jumped into the deep end.
The puppeteers that joined this production each brought their own expertise and made life on set a little bit easier. Shout out to the supporting puppeteers with the primary goal of not being in the shot. I’m grateful to each one of you. I see you.
