They even built a spaceship: The Project Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling was filmed without using a green screen

The film Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling was completely shot without using a green screen. The authors recreated all the decorations themselves, including the spaceship. This was told by directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Recently, technology has advanced a lot, and many impressive visual films are shot using computer graphics. For example, James Cameron's Avatar would hardly have been possible without it. However, against this background, many directors tend to use classical methods, even if they are shooting a large-scale science fiction project.

In Hollywood films, the green screen often completely replaces the scenery, in this regard, Project Hail Mary is different. However, the authors do not deny that they used digital technologies in post-processing. Phil Lord thanked the computer graphics artists for this.

At the same time, one of the main characters, the alien Rocky, is not painted by artists. This became an important moment affecting the sincerity of the narrative, because Ryan Gosling saw who he was talking to in the frame.

They also noted the work of the specialists responsible for lighting. Proper work with light sources made it possible to make the picture even more natural.

Project Hail Mary could be a big hit. Many people have doubts only because of the budget of the film. It recently became clear that it is much higher than originally thought. Even with the tax benefits, the film will go down in history as one of the most expensive in Hollywood.
