The Fine Art of Crafting Digital Daemons.

The article focuses on the creation of the epic visual effects for the film "The Golden Compass." Six effects studios have combined their efforts under the supervision of Mike Fink. They have made several daemons who interact with people and the environments. They have also rendered the daemons to look like real animals and all of them have received a special shimmer of color in their coats to suggest that these animals are spirits.
