according to production VFX supervisor Tom Turnbull the best VFX shot in the Wednesday
series was enormously complicated and invisible he said good luck trying to spot it well Mr
Green did stay tuned if you want to find out which shot it was filming for Wednesday took
place between September 2021 and March 2022 predominantly in the town of busteni in Romania
the setting for the fictional Nevermore Academy was kanta kuzino Castle the locations used
were the polytechnica University of Bucharest the Bucharest botanical garden and the Olga
greciano mansion in dambavita County other settings including the entire town of Jericho
were recreated at Bucharest film studios [Music] oh the brief for the creature work was that
everything had to be photo real but just slightly off subtly anthropomorphized if they modeled
something that was a bit too realistic Tim would make an adjustment or two to make it
become part of the Burton universe rocket science VFX handled the large volume of Two
and a Half dimensional thin cleanups and patches and Mars VFX handled the full 3d thing asset
and animation [Music]
[Music] MPC did the more complex 3D work including hero creature work Hyde and the werewolf and
Nevermore Academy

the effects team actually had to have four or five different size and shape stumps to
use for each scene depending on the angle the actor's arm would have to be at each prosthetic
change took nearly three hours [Music]

this dramatic close-up of crackstone wasn't actually planned for so they lacked a lot
of the elements they needed in the end they reconstructed the plate and the actor using
2.5 D high-res dmps and projections onto a match moved 3D scan then added a 3D smoke
simulation and used deep compositing in Nuke this allowed the now 3D crack Stone to exist
inside the 3D smoke Sim even though they always tried to position the actor playing thing
in a way as to stop him from casting shadows in some shots it was unavoidable so they had
to remove the shadow in post [Music]
and here comes the invisible effect we mentioned earlier because of the blue suit this water
bottle had to be completely replaced adding the bubbling effect and the reflection of
thing and everything else within the room [Music]
thank you
