Working on a tight schedule, the studio produced more than 100 shots for the alien adventure. 

In The Predator, Twentieth Century Fox’s ambitious reboot of the sci-fi horror franchise, the universe’s most lethal hunters return to Earth, stronger and deadlier than ever. Having upgraded themselves with DNA from other species, they take on a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher in a battle that could mean the demise of the human race.

Despite being signed on late in the production cycle Rising Sun Pictures delivered a host of complex and breathtaking visual effects in just eleven weeks.

The package ultimately tallied more than 100 shots and included CG environments and sets, the Predator’s signature “cloaking” effect, and dramatic (and occasionally gruesome) enhancements to combat scenes. They also produced visuals for the film’s stunning opening and closing shots.
