Blackmagic Design today announced that Poldark, the new hit television drama by production company Mammoth Screen features visual effects production by Lexhag Ltd, including lavish set extensions and 3D matte painting, which were composted in Fusion Studio 7.
The eight part series, based on Winston Graham’s first two Poldark novels, was adapted by Debbie Horsfield and directed by Edward Bazalgette and Will McGregor. Visual Effects (VFX) for the series were supervised by Alexis Haggar who was involved in the series from pre production, working closely alongside series production designer Catrin Meredydd as well as the two block directors and both block directors of photography.
Establishing an 18th century mining world was an extensive task. All of the exterior mine shots were filmed on location in Cornwall, England, in and around the remaining mines that still stand today reveals Alexis. Lexhag had one major reference image for the Grambler mine build from the turn of the century, which provided an insight into how the working mine would have looked. Using a digital scan of the location, Alexis and his team were able to build, position and light structures in both 3D and Fusion.
