Greenland 2: Migration

Greenland 2: Migration tracks the Garrity family as they leave their bunker and make their way across a Europe reshaped by the comet strikes of the first film. The impact carved craters into the landscape and changed the English Channel into a route defined more by deep fissures than by open water, lying far below where the water once was. The production team constructed the pieces that the actors could handle directly, including the vehicle and set pieces for the Channel crossing, on soundstages and on location in the UK and in Iceland, where the crew filmed on the black sand beach at Sandvik and a real lava field. The crater fields and the broken, scarred terrain that lay beyond this reach had to be extended or built digitally. The Clarke Crater itself was made as a matte painting with 2.5D projections and some animated elements to give the frozen landscape depth instead of a flat backdrop. Chumak was a digital matte painter on the film.
