Shane Mahan explains that it was decided early on that Legacy Effects' practical Wendigo would be used for graceful and intimate shots, but that motions like, "falling down or jumping up fast would need to be a CGI component because there's just the physics you're fighting." In the shed fight, for some shots, Legacy would simply put the creature head into frame for a reference pass. Mahan describes it as follows, "The effects team built a rig where the wall could smash in. The actor inside the suit was Dorian Kingi and he was giving it his all. It's a difficult costume because it's so encompassing. Sometimes we would take an arm off and it would be a CGI arm on a full body. That's why we made it a telemetry neck. So it's one performer doing most of the moves." For the fight in the shed, this meant that the Wendigo was achieved as a hybrid combination of practical and digital. Cooper credits his editor Dylan Tichenor with making the different elements in the scene work. "Some really wonderful editing from Dylan."
