We’re proud to share the official VFX breakdown of the episode that got us a nomination at the VES Awards, presented by the Visual Effects Society @veslosangeles - one of the most respected honors in the global visual effects industry. @buf_vfx @mpcvfx_fr @mathematic.tv Overall supervision: Jao M’Changama @Jao_eka @bisou.tv Breakdown edited by the show VFX Editor: Tim Binmoeller @wabi_sabi_yu The nomination recognizes the work on the premiere episode, “Costa da Morte,” from Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, which continues the world-renowned saga of The Walking Dead, now spanning more than fifteen years. After two seasons set in France, we opened this new chapter with Daryl and Carol emerging from the now-out-of-order Channel Tunnel, linking Paris to London. One of the biggest challenges of this season was to recreate a post-apocalyptic London—while shooting entirely in Spain. In the opening of episode 301, we follow our characters from Aylesford Bridge to Westminster, before they sail away under Tower Bridge. To achieve photorealism, we had to transform the bright Spanish light into a moodier, overgrown London — free from pollution, greener and strangely peaceful, inspired by the “Venice dolphins” imagery of the lockdown period. The sailing scenes were shot in a water tank in Alicante, surrounded by a fully 3D Tower Bridge environment, where we added zombie crowds wandering across the deserted structure. Westminster was filmed on a parking lot near Madrid, augmented digitally with a frozen Big Ben clock, shipwrecks on the Thames, and lush vegetation taking over the riverbanks. Throughout this English excursion, the challenge was to balance authenticity — guided by our British director’s eye for London’s real geography — with the fresh perspective of our American characters discovering the city for the first time. The visual effects needed to support the story without ever becoming its focus, helping make this journey not just about the ruins of a city, but about finding one’s way back home. Watch the full breakdown now. #VESAwards #thewalkingdead #normanreedus #daryldixon #la

We’re heading out to sea this #WorldMaritimeDay 🌊 to share our work on @amcthewalkingdead Daryl Dixon Season 3, created by David Zabel. This pivotal scene was shot out on the water, with Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, and @stephenmerchant surrounded by blue screens. From there, our MPC team conjured the turbulent, stormy sea you see on screen today. 60 VFX shots built the scene: water and wave simulations in Houdini, cloud and storm composition and generation. The merging of the VFX enhancements with the real-life ocean and boat works to heighten the drama, for the actors and viewers alike. The scene was supervised by Mathieu Legros, MPC VFX Supervisor, and Yann Nivet, MPC VFX Producer—in collaboration with @jao.eka , Overall VFX Supervisor, @jpaynatsautivet , Senior VFX Producer, and Sébastien Voisin, VFX Producer. A big thank you to Augustin Chastel de Belloy at @leftproductions and AMC Networks for their trust. You can watch Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon now on @amc_tv and @amcplus . --- À l’occasion de la Journée Mondiale de la Mer 🌊, nous sommes heureux de vous partager notre travail pour la série The Walking Dead : Daryl Dixon saison 3, créée par David Zabel. Pour cette séquence en mer, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride et Stephen Merchant sont bel et bien sur l’eau pendant le tournage, entourés de fonds bleus. Nos équipes ont fabriqué plus de 60 plans VFX avec entre autre des simulations d’eau et de vagues avec Houdini, ainsi que l’incrustation et la génération de nuages et tempêtes, sous la supervision de Mathieu Legros, MPC VFX Supervisor et Yann Nivet, MPC VFX Producer; avec la collaboration de Jao M'Changama, Overall VFX Supervisor, Justine Paynat-Sautivet, Senior VFX Producer, et Sébastien Voisin, VFX Producer. La combinaison du bateau réel et des ajouts VFX rend la scène plus immersive pour les acteurs et les spectateurs. Un grand merci à Augustin Chastel de Belloy chez LEFT et à AMC Networks pour leur confiance. #MPCParis #VFXBreakdown #DarylDixon #mer #sea #VFX #normanreedus #bigbaldhead @transperfect @transperfectmedia
