The world through a child’s eyes is a unique thing, even more so when that child is created by Academy Award-nominee Taika Waititi. Visual effects studio Luma Pictures helped Waititi realise his creative vision for Jojo Rabbit. Luma Pictures took street scenes filmed in the present-day Czech Republic and made them more historically appropriate for World War II Germany. Removing contemporary elements and replacing them with period-accurate ones is subtle work, but it helps weave the tapestry of Jojo’s reality: both real and imagined.
