In nuce: MPC has released a VFX breakdown for the live-action film series of the Resident Evil franchise. The first season of the Netflix series comprises eight three-quarter-hour episodes, with MPC contributing 210 VFX shots, from – as the video description for the VFX breakdown says – simple muzzle flashes to complex CG environments. The lead creative mind behind the Netflix series is screenwriter Andrew Dabb, who is best known to series fans as co-author of the fantasy series Supernatural. The response to the first live-action film series set in the Resident Evil universe has so far been rather muted.
Other highlights: Digital Production has repeatedly reported on the work of MPC’s VFX artists in the past. Below are some of the recent VFX breakdowns.
