Although much of Franklin's work on the film involved CGI, the VFX team built a miniature version of the mountain fortress set. "The great thing about miniatures is they give you this chaotic reality that digital hasn't quite gotten to yet," he said. Franklin also used CGI to "subtly bend elements like physics, space, and time."

Fincher is notably a fan of CGI. Artemple Hollywood, the VFX studio behind the film, released a reel showcasing the digital augmentations made to each of the scenes.
