Although Saxon has dedicated his life to practical visual wizardry, he believes CG has been too harshly maligned and that there’s a place for both the material and digital worlds to coexist.

On “Ochi,” the wide shots that show the creatures jumping or running, particularly in the opening sequences, were entirely created as CG animation.

“The reason that CG and digital VFX got maligned is that there was an overreliance and a kind of laziness that started to develop in the industry where it was like, ‘Just shoot everyone on a blue screen and figure it out later,’” Saxon says.

Saxon does believe there’s been an overreliance on CG in the entertainment industry.
