For the third instalment in the Narnia film series we created the evil green mist that plays tricks on people’s minds and which the heroes must defeat.

From tendrils attacking boats to the evil White Witch, the mysterious mist appears in various incarnations.

The mist almost takes on a life of its own. We had to communicate its menacing intent purely through its movements.

Another challenge was getting the mist to interact realistically with all the actors and props on set.

The project really put our pipeline to the test and pushed the boundaries of what we’ve done before. But we pulled it off with some clever fluid simulations – and some very talented people.
