Squid Game Has So Much CGI It’s Almost Shocking

Now, OK, obviously the glass-tile game wasn’t 100% real. Same for the rat in the tunnel and the huge room in which the players played tug of war. But I was kind of shocked just how much set extension went into the pastel staircases and the “red light, green light” areas. Also, while you obviously knew all that money wasn’t real, it’s a little bit of shock that the entire globe was fake too. Overall, the CG was really beautifully integrated into the show to take this simple, strong, undeniably captivating idea and present it in a much more epic way. And, really, that’s when CGI is at its best: when you can’t tell what’s real and what isn’t.

If for some reason you’re like me and didn’t immediately get sucked up in the Squid Game hype train, well, why are you still reading? Hop on Netflix and do that now. Once I started, I finished the entire series in 24 hours. It’s absolutely fantastic.
