VFX company behind ‘Squid Game’ reveals the surprising amount of CGI contained in the show

November 23, 2021

Kim Hyung-rok, a computer graphics supervisor from South Korea-based Gulliver Studios, recently revealed how much of the “Squid Game” set was made up of computer-generated imagery (CGI) created by his team.

VFX: The hit Netflix show “Squid Game” drew the attention of millions of viewers, but Gulliver Studios revealed that not all is real by releasing a video of the show’s visual effects breakdown.

In the video, Kim shares that most of the aspects of the games’ set design were made in post-production. These include the paintings on the walls from the series’ first episode, which features the game “Red Light, Green Light.”
Other surprising CGI elements include the enormous plexiglass piggy bank, which held up to 45.6 billion South Korean won (approximately $38.3 million).
Iconic locations from the show, such as its dorms and maze-like staircase, were also featured in the breakdown.
