Planet X brought to life a dragon (with most of the team WFH) for the Norwegian-Dutch co-production 'Dragon Girl'.

Director Katarina Launing was in charge of bringing the story of a young refugee girl, who meets an orphaned dragon, to the big screen.⁠

Planet X was responsible for the complete visual effects share of the movie from pre to finish. Featuring well over 220 shots, 170+ with a fully animated CG dragon (one of the first attempts of this scale in The Netherlands), the efforts resulted in 12 minutes of engaging screen time performance.⁠

To take the lead on the animation department, Planet X turned to experienced character animator Peer Lemmers to supervise a team of 7 talented animators.⁠

Producers: Volya Films, Storm Films (Oslo)

In August 2021, Dennis Kleyn (vfx supervisor) and Peer Lemmers (animation director) won the Amanda Award in Haugesund, Norway, for ‘Best Visual Effects’ in Dragon Girl.
