"The real challenge with this is creating a world that felt a little more advanced than what we are experiencing today, but at the same time couldn't feel like a full on sci-fi. These robots were part of the 3 main factions. The U.S. Gumps were obviously very advanced, cutting-edge technology."
- Sebastian Barker - VFX Supervisor

This weeks throwback is a breakdown clip from Outside the Wire.

This week’s throwback is ‘The Lion Woman’ a Norwegian - German CoProduction, worked on by our team in Berlin:

“The visual effects put the audience in a certain setting.
So when it is winter, you feel you are in winter. You can feel cold and feel that you are in the middle of nowhere.
So first and foremost we basically had to recreate the whole environment around that train station that was built on set, which was supposed to be in a little village in the mountains of Norway.”
Jean Michel Boublil - Visual Effects Supervisor - The Lion Woman
