Several innovative techniques developed for the project enabled Hybride’s artists and programmers to produce extremely complex scenes. The team developed innovative tools that facilitated the creation of an entirely virtual city—traffic lights, street lamps, bicycle racks, road signage and advertising panels were automatically generated to maximize production time. Hybride artists also developed special tools to create and populate scene elements including vegetation and vehicles, as well as a cutting-edge tool to populate trees and simulate their movement.

Due to the high level of shot complexity, Hybride artists used deep image compositing techniques to manage the sequence and maintain quality without compromising the level of detail desired. The Hybride team also created graphics for the control tower monitors, helicopter cockpit displays and televisions seen in the sequence.
