Halon contributed Previs and Techvis services to assist in bringing the fifth installment of the Hunger Games series to the big screen.
Working closely with director Francis Lawrence and VFX supervisor Adrien Dewet, Halon played a key role in visualizing and technically solving challenges for the snake sequence, the arena’s destruction, and the drone attack. Their work significantly informed the principal photography and VFX production.
