Blackmagic Design today announced that visual effects (VFX) house Atlanta VFX used its Fusion Studio VFX and motion graphics software for the hit television series “Only Murders in the Building.” Leveraging Fusion Studio’s compositing tools to blend camera takes, replace green screens and handle shot replacements, Atlanta VFX left no clues when creating invisible VFX for the series’ second season.

“Only Murders in the Building” is a Hulu Original series, produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios, that follows true crime podcasters that find themselves and their building at the center of a crime. In its second season, the show stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as neighbors in the swanky New York City apartment building the Arconia, who are now being accused themselves of a murder.

The team, led by Atlanta VFX Owner and VFX Supervisor Jason Maynard and Compositing Supervisor Jeremy Nelson, completed extensive greenscreen work throughout the season. “Between Fusion Studio’s Delta keyer, Ultra keyer and Primatte keyer, there’s always a keyer that will get the job done and make it seamlessly integrated,” said Maynard. “For example, in one episode we had more than 60 greenscreen shots in just the apartment building. For that episode, some of the actors were wearing shirts with green hues, so we had to use multiple keyers to properly isolate the colors.
