Ollin VFX in Mexico City, created CG exteriors for the deathbed sequence, adding environments and atmospherics outside the hospital room windows to indicate approach of Hurricane Katrina.                                                                        

At the time Ollin joined the production, plates were not yet available, as Fincher shot the hospital scenes near the end of principal photography. "Without plates, said Ollin visual effects supervisor Charlie Iturriaga, we did not know how close we would be to the windows. So we decided to build a very high-detailed exterior, replicating streets of downtown New Orleans including cars with complete with their interiors."
