Amongst the creative and technical challenges to produce 1,100 visual effects shots for the eight episodes of American Born Chinese was the ability of the Monkey King to do as many as 72 transformations, which are dictated by the scenario and where he has to go next reveals Visual Effects Supervisor Kaitlyn Yang (Raised by Wolves).

Just in the script phase, right off the bat you have a falcon changing into a tiger changing into a fish! How do we do that? That ultimately becomes the perfect handoff of what was shot practically and just seeing enough of something to whet your appetite.
