An important point within the movie is when the island gets connected to the main land. The bridge is such an exaggerated size that it was created through the use of a digital matte painting.
To create some feeling of magic surrounding Amarantha the witch, the filmmakers decided to give her scenes an 'underwater'-look. The actress's face during dialogue was recorded at 'normal' speed and combined with high speed footage of her waving hair and robes.
The island is being threatened by an all obliterating missile attack. The movement and flight path of the missile needed to be controlled extensively, so a fully 3D CG asset was created.
