KNB EFX has opened their official website detailing the incredible body of work that the company has achieved over the years. I must say, though, that it is a site that is definitely for adults only, as the company does do work with scenes that depict blood related events. It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. Parental guidance suggested.
One thing of definite note to Narnia fans, and a very good thing indeed, is that they are ramping up to start work on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader this summer! Their work on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe earned them an Academy Award, which was well deserved. Though they were passed on for the excellent work on Prince Caspian, one would assume that’s because it looked so natural, that people forgot that it was the work of an effects house. That’s how good KNB EFX is.
The website features some Narnia concept art that they created that hasn’t been seen anywhere else.
If Howard Berger is reading this, I’m looking forward to running into you sometime this year!

Thanks for the report, Paul. Could you be a bit more specific about where the concept art is? I have not been able to find anything except a couple pictures of a minotaur.
Thanks Mark, I sure can point it out.
Click on Gallery, and then Art Work. From there, drag the scroll bar down a quarter of the way. You’ll see the awesome concept art (that I wish translated to the screen… it’s sweet!) of a Satyr. Under that, you’ll see art for female centaurs and fauns and Trumpkin (which has been seen, but not this up-close).
