Blood, Sex & Royalty

Client: Nutopia/Netflix | Directed By: Michael Sherrington
Our Work:  All VFX

We were very excited to be asked to create all the VFX for the Netflix miniseries, Blood, Sex & Royalty, produced by Nutopia. 

The majority of the work on the project focused around converting the architecture of the castle used during production to be more in line with Greenwich Palace, a residence of Henry VIII which no longer exists. 

​

Using historical references that showed what the palace looked like in the 1500’s, we created matte painting elements to adjust the walls, castellations and turrets of the existing castle to match those of Greenwich Palace during the reign of Henry VIII. 

We were also required to create a full matte painting of the castle for an establishing shot. Drawing from the reference, elements of the existing castle were used to create the full asset that was then composited into the original footage. 

​

Another sequence in the series focused on a dream in which Anne Boleyn finds herself tied to a burning bed.  On set the actors were filmed on the bed and later it was set on fire. We combined these two footage elements, adding supplementary flames, sparks, smoke and heat haze to create the impression that Anne was in the middle of the dreamy, surreal fire.

At The 2D Workshop we’re obsessed with the art of filmmaking. Whether we’re creating character designs and animation for a jaw dropping ad campaign, bringing VFX magic to an all-star feature length TV bonanza or writing and developing our own IP to showcase all that we LOVE about film. QUALITY is key.

​

No matter the project our remit stays the same – provide a UNIQUE, CINEMATIC, ARTISTIC piece that delivers the client’s message in the strongest way possible. We tailor our writing, directing, design and animation to each client’s specific requirements. No two projects are the same which suits us to a tee as we endeavour to develop techniques and styles, continually diversifying our filmmaking arsenal.

Situated in the ever inspiring city of EDINBURGH, The 2D Workshop’s team consume and create as much content as possible with an ENERGY and PASSION that has translated directly into each project we’ve delivered since we set up shop in 2012.

If you have a project that deserves an IMAGINATIVE, DYNAMIC, DEDICATED team bringing it to life, get in touch! We’d love to chat more.
