As principal VFX vendors on the film, the team at Jellyfish Pictures worked on creature development and heavy CG work, delivering a number of set extension shots, as well as the vis‑dev of the ship's design and the film's antagonists ‑ the Legislators.

One of the biggest environments they worked on was the landing shot of the Legislators’ ships at Soldier Field with the team digitally replacing trees and inserting atmospheric dust for the ship landing.
