In nuce: Visual effects service provider One of Us VFX has released a VFX breakdown for the Netflix series Sandman (original title: The Sandman). The series is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Neil Gaiman, which spans over 2,000 pages and has been available on Netflix since 5 August this year. At the centre of the series is the eponymous Sandman, the personification of the dream, who has been held captive for centuries by a British occultist – now freed, he sets out to collect his insignia, consisting of sand, helmet and ruby, and rebuild his dream realm.
In toto: The VFX house One of Us contributed 240 VFX shots to the series. As can be seen from the video description, almost 100 artists gathered around VFX supervisor James Brennan-Craddock (Assassin’s Creed, Jupiter Ascending, Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw), VFX producer Catherine Martin (Ghost in the Shell, 1917, Alien: Covenant) and 2D supervisor Nathan Remy (Knives Out, Passengers, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom).
Clicked further: On 11 May 2020 , Digital Production last reported on the creative work of One of Us – at that time it was the first season of the hit series The Witcher, which sent fantasy warrior Geralt von Riva across our screens at home.
