Each scene had its own look and was shot over 4 shoot days and prelight. This project would involve a 9th century Cloister with Romanesque arches. 3D imagined Mesopotamia with a Ziggurat temple. The Mercury mission Nasa control room with digital background plates. And a reproduction of Larry David's real office. The goal was to be 100% authentic to each time period, down to the lit wax candles.

Due to the post schedule, as much as possible had to be shot as "in camera effects" and the Art Department would need to design much of the Visual Effects. This meant designing each spot in the computer in 3D, also using digital plates, so each scene would be composited while we were shooting and could seamlessly be brought into the post house, Method.
