In Predator: Badlands, The Yard VFX brings to life key sequences including the opening on Yautja Prime and a brutal Predator-versus-Predator fight, supported by detailed environment work and character animation.
The opening moments of the film rely heavily on digital environments created by the studio, helping establish the atmosphere and scale of Yautja Prime.
In addition to environment work, the team delivered Predator facial replacement and animation for a violent fratricidal fight, as well as visual effects for a separate sequence involving the synthetic character Thia.
