The real-time collaboration between Director Thunder Levin working in Santa Monica, and Concept Designer Dylan Cole working at Industrial Light & Magic in Northern California is surely a sign of the times. Thunder was able to send his "thumbnail" sketches, receive preliminary proofs and suggest changes, and see Dylan's revisions only moments later.
