Foundation

A complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire.

DNEG was the lead VFX partner on the show, delivering 1050 shots throughout the series’ 10 episodes, covering all elements of the visual effects process, including Previs, Postvis, MGFX and Virtual Production asset builds, as well as complicated visual effects sequences. Key sequences included the creation of the city of Trantor, the Imperial Palace and Orbital Station, MGFX work to create the show’s ‘Sandograms’, and more.

Our talented DNEG Episodic team won two VES Awards and an Emmy nomination for their work on Foundation.
