SYNOPSIS
Season 3 sets the teenage spy on the tail of his greatest enemy: the malign agency known as Scorpia.
HOW WE ACHIEVED IT
Our team is excited to have contributed to the highly anticipated release of Alex Rider Season 3, airing on Amazon Freevee starting April 5th. We played a crucial role in bringing this spy series to life by providing full-scale visual effects for all six episodes, with on-set supervision in Malta.
Before filming began, we prepared Scorpia effect footage and conducted night vision tests to ensure amazing production quality. Our work included creating practical elevations and roofs of Maltese buildings using 3D geometry and DMP, including the sea and rocky shoreline. We also built partial boat assets and conducted explosion simulations to add smoke, fire, and debris.
Our team designed an X-ray gadget interface, crackling lasers and explosive muzzle flashes. From intense fight sequences to an epic transmitter on top of a cathedral, our VFX enhanced every moment with realistic blood, bullet wounds, smoke, and lasers.
Additionally, we created multiple graphics for image analysis, facial recognition, and video interference. Our work extended to create crowd scenes, crafting CG bullets and cars, and orchestrating dramatic door lock explosions and power cable effects.
