True Detective: Night Country
BlueBolt
Led by VFX Supervisor Tiago Faria, BlueBolt delivered 163 VFX shots for the much anticipated fourth series of HBO’s crime drama anthology True Detective: Night Country to support the eerie, dramatic narrative. Set (and shot) mainly at night time the VFX work required a high level of realism. BlueBolt’s work was focused on invisible environment work including a large mine with CG buildings and all outdoor facilities, grounds and vehicles; a frozen CG shipwreck in the Arctic - for which the team built a completely new shipwreck to take over from a partial set piece; a gruesome open head wound with realistic bone/skull and gore work in addition to a range of 2D enhancements including snow, frozen breath shots, set extensions of shafts, collapsed ice tunnels and destroyed mine entrance, as well as some smoke addition and de-aging.
