The Agency Season 2
For Season 2 of The Agency, our London team, led by Owen Braekke-Carroll and Niki Ryan, delivered seamless VFX to powerfully amplify suspense and reinforce the authenticity of the on-screen action.
Our work focused on delivering invisible VFX that kept audiences fully immersed in the complex spy drama. Designed to go unnoticed, the effects subtly elevated moments of tension, enhancing elements like gunfire and wounds while flawlessly grounding the story. Other work included screen compositing alongside tactical enhancements, such as the addition of muzzle flashes, blood, smoke, squibs, and explosions. The extensive environmental work involved DMP set extensions, sign replacements, and rigorous cleanup of sets and cameras.
Beyond the bulk cleanup, the team tackled several unique technical challenges. For the first time on this project, we utilized ML/AI crowd generation for select shots. This innovative approach allowed our artists to populate scenes with moving people that perfectly matched the style and dress of the filmed crowd elements.
Additionally, a demanding long stitch shot combined ten different plates. This intricate sequence required the seamless integration of a CG knife and a CG truck crash, layered with practical and digital effects to dramatically elevate the scene.
