We are thrilled to announce that ‘Westworld’ Season 3 and ‘Devs’ have both received Emmy nominations – for ‘Outstanding Special Visual Effects’ and ‘Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Supporting Role’ respectively. Congratulations to our TV VFX crew!

DNEG worked on all 8 episodes of ‘Westworld’ Season 3, with significant contributions to episodes 2, 5 and 6. We provided a range of robots, vehicles, set extensions and other seamless FX work for this third season. All robots were hand-animated and then seamlessly integrated into environments. DNEG also created several destruction sequences involving an array of materials, multiple simulated explosions and photorealistic cars to replace on-set stunt cars. Find out more here.

‘Devs’ marks DNEG’s third collaboration with Writer and Director Alex Garland, having previously worked on the award-winning ‘Ex Machina’ and ‘Annihilation’. Led by VFX Supervisor Andrew Whitehurst, DNEG’s TV VFX crew worked on 268 shots over all 8 episodes of the series. The team was brought on to the show at the beginning of pre-production to explore some of the more complex visual ideas that feature in the series, including how the multiverse might be realised.
