New ‘Watchmen’ Featurette Gives Fans BTS Look At The Visual Effects

HBO released a new making-of featurette for Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen.

HBO’s Watchmen offered viewers a number of special effects-driven sequences involving fantastical concepts, including squid attacks and clones. Now, HBO has released a new making-of featurette that gives fans a glimpse at how the visual effects wizards brought some of the most memorable elements of Watchmen to television screens.

The featurette begins by giving fans a look at how the Tulsa massacre was recreated for Watchmen before revealing the secrets behind the first squid downpour shown on the series. Later, fans are given a brief glimpse at the special effects techniques used to create Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s Doctor Manhattan.
