In this exclusive behind the scenes from The Daily and fxguide, see how the visual effects wizards at Method Studios constructed an incredibly detailed Ne-Seoul for Cloud Atlas.

The modern elements of the city are built atop the decaying older sections, while Glowing gravitational roadways circle the city and enormous dam walls keep out the crushing sea.

It’s one of the most visually striking sections of Andy and Lana Wachowski’s film, and sets the scene for the story of Sonmi-451, a clone fighting for her identity and life.
