Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts shared with VnExpress that Kong: Skull Island’s special effects team has nearly 300 artists, divided into groups of animators and technicians.

It took them a year and a half to create King Kong, of which the graphics processing for the beast took eight months, and the filming of stuntmen and post-production for the film took 10 months.

Monkey Kong in the new movie looks realistic thanks to his 19 million hairs.

Sound design is also an important element that helps Kong come alive.

To depict the battle scene between Kong and the helicopters as well as the real-life monster interaction scenes, on set, the actors pretended to fight with the air.

Expert Jeff White shares that some of his favorite scenes are the moments when Kong connects with the expedition members or sits still, admiring the beauty of Skull Island.

`I like the scene where Kong sits on the island and admires the aurora borealis, the scene where Kong and the photographer character Weaver (Brie Larson) help lift the helicopter over another animal or when Kong comes to connect Weaver and Conrad on the cliff.`
