AI Summary

Production designer Ramsey Avery created the massive creature stomach seen in “Whalefall” by sculpting a core from mattress foam and layering it with silicone bits to achieve a realistic, organic texture. The film follows Jay, played by Austin Abrams, as he searches off California’s coast for his father’s remains, portrayed by Josh Brolin. During his descent, Jay encounters a giant squid being pursued by an 80‑foot, 60‑ton sperm whale, providing the dramatic backdrop for Avery’s practical effects. The practical construction was chosen to enhance the visceral feel of the underwater chase.
