Thanks to Kent Houston for his comments for the optical work made at Peerless Camera:
“In shot one the building, sea and land were separate elements- the “gateway” was either a miniature or painting- I can’t remember which.”
“This shot is entirely from artwork. No live action elements.”
“The night city view might be a matte painting but it doesn’t look like one of our shots.”
“There is a nice painting of the Malabar caves location to make them hang over more and make them look threatening.” (left upper part)
“The shots of the ship at the docks is an optical composite”
“The domes I don’t recall what the elements were (probably miniatures), but it was also a composite, and so is the other shot of the train.”
“Clouds and moon too are composites. Peter Chiang painted the moon.”
