Skyfall was filmed using IMAX, using mainly Arri Alexa cameras. It is a 2D film using CGI of around 500 shots.

They were unhappy with the IMAX tests made from their footage as the colours "didn't look great", following with retests without using IMAX Corporations proprietary re-mastering process finding it looked much better with this removal.Production faced criticism for allegedly damaging buildings while filming a motorcycle chase across rooftops in the city.

Post ProductionThe Komodo Dragon and the whole shot including the background was CGI. Also the lake by Skyfall when Silva arrives by helicopter, and Skyfall on fire was digitally composed, as was the fog and the icy breath. The DB5 which was destroyed was actually 3D printed because they didn't want to destroy a real one, and damage was added digitally too. A very, very large part of Skyfall is special effects, so I'd class it as being reliant on them.

They decided that James Bond "wasn't ready for 3D" so they went down the route of IMAX instead. They never created any of Skyfall in 3D and are not planning on it at all either.

There isn't any reporting of reshoots being required, they kept everything that was originally done.
