from the Art of VFX article:

How did BlueBolt get involved with SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN?
Cedric and Phil (the VFX Supervisors) came in to see BlueBolt in London and we showed them our environment work on GAME OF THRONES (season 1). They liked what they saw and not long after they asked us to bid on the castle and royal village work.

When we came on board, shooting had begun but there wasn’t yet an approved design for Snow White’s Castle. We needed to start building it in order to be ready for shot turnover at the end of the year, so we took on the design of the castle as well. When we were getting close to design approval, we sent James Sutton, one of our modelers, up to Pinewood so he could be as close to the clients as possible. He worked on the design for the castle in Maya, making changes immediately for the clients as requested. This really helped speed up the design process.

How different was it working with two instead of one visual effects supervisor?
We mainly worked with Phil throughout the post period, so it wasn’t really different for us. Cedric was always in the background with his comments and suggestions, but most of our feedback came through Phil. During the final weeks of post Phil was based in London, so we dealt directly with him on a daily basis and he had to do all the late night calls with the rest of the production team in LA.
