Supervising animators Andy Hargreaves and Craig Travis, having pre-visualised all key sequences, were then present with Privett and Jones on set for shooting all of the VFX elements to ensure as smooth a transition as possible to post. Working with Technical Director Mark Pascoe, the animators gave the Selenites a distinct insect-like but appealing character, in line with their role in Wells\u2019 script.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Sphere\u2019 in which Bedford and Cavor travel to the moon was handled by Seb Barker who took over the entire sequences single-handed, including all animation and compositing.
