Russell Frazier, VP of graphics for AlphaDogs, used Discreet Combustion to rotoscope a number of elements, eliminating rods and rigs used for the puppets. In one scene, he eliminated a character in its entirety. Project director Jerry Rees used Adobe After Effects to create entire scenes and effects sequences. Some contained as many as 300 elements.
