Courtesy of Netflix VFX supervisor Chris Ritvo knows a thing or two about creating animals in CG. He had worked with director Olivia Newman on “Where the Crawdads Sing,” for which he created CG birds. Ritvo was faced with an even greater challenge when Newman tasked him with creating a CG octopus for “Remarkably Bright Creatures.”
The Netflix movie, based on the bestselling book by Shelby Van Pelt, stars Sally Field as a Tova, a widow who works at a local aquarium and finds joy again when she forms an unlikely bond with a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus.
