Erik Henry and Jeff White, VFX supervisors on Percy Jackson and the Olympians, shared how they created a unique underworld and creatures.
The Big Picture Disney+'s adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians makes its two-episode debut on December 20, offering viewers an exciting new take on Rick Riordan's middle grade fantasy series. From we've already seen of the television series — whether be through trailers, first look images, and more — it already seems to be one with a unique world ripped straight from the pages and then some.
"You know, a person who looks like they lost their life in a skiing accident, a matador, and a person who fell asleep and never woke up, and they're in their pajamas. So you, I think really importantly, take away some of the scariness of it, and yet you still have something that, for an older audience, they get the humor of it. That's kind of one of the ways in which we balance things kind of differently and handle it, I think, in a good way.
