The Wheel of Time | VFX Breakdown

It keeps on turning – the wheel of time? Shadow minions, trollocs and other fantasy creatures swing sabres (teeth) at series fans. Scary show values!

In nuce: This VFX breakdown by MPC is entirely dedicated to the bestiary from the series adaptation of the multi-volume fantasy novel series The Wheel of Time by novelist Robert Jordan. The series was adapted by Amazon Studios and Sony Television and was one of Amazon’s biggest box office hits of 2021.

What kind of shows can you expect? The Breakdown is packed with horned devil stuff, pig-like humanoids and eyeless villains in (medieval) hoodies. In case you’ve missed it so far, we’re cautiously unfamiliar with the works of Robert Jordan and the fantasy terminology that goes with them. Therefore…

Trivia Fact: As we have learnt from the editorial team at Digital Production, the devil creatures from the VFX Breakdown are called “Trollocs”. We prophylactically apologise to all fantasy fanaticsfor any errors, inaccuracies and/or confusion in the Robert Jordan universe.

Nevertheless, we think so: For all creature effects enthusiasts, the breakdown below is definitely worth a click (and a look).
