When this smoke was inflated quite a lot, the aura around the castle was indeed disturbing.

No green screens could be seen at the castle itself, so the creators relied on the real scenery that Ogrodzieniec provided them. A green screen was used a bit later for outdoor scenes in a nearby forest next to huge boulders that look like they were taken out of the fantasy world.

“We care about balance,” said Executive Producer Tomek Bagiński on location. “We want to shoot the camera as much as possible, but of course there are moments that either cannot be done on set, or would be absurdly complicated and expensive, then we use the computer. We use computer effects where we need to, so we usually try to create it organically on the set. This approach helps actors and the whole crew. I know that a computer is a phenomenal tool for a filmmaker, it helps a lot. Visual effects that can be created are impossible to achieve by any other methods, but they are not always worth creating.”
