The Decameron

The Decameron

TV Series

Release : 2024

Platform : Netflix

Starring : Zosia Mamet, Tanya Reynolds, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Karan Gill

Render Imagination Inc. proudly contributed to over 100+ VFX shots for Netflix’s ‘The Decameron,’ including CG assets, set extensions, plate prep, FX simulations all the way to final compositing. Our team harnessed next-generation realtime technology to tackle the complex visual effects required for the project by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in traditional VFX.

Let Us get

Prepped

The basics for success

The foundation of any successful VFX project lies in the preparation. Essential tasks like roto, paint, cleanup, plate prep, camera tracking, and matchmove are the building blocks that ensure every shot integrates seamlessly into the final product. These basics are not just routine steps for us—they are critical processes that we approach with precision and care.

BRINGING LIGHT TO LIFE

FX Simulations

In our innovative approach, we skillfully integrated both traditional FX simulations and cutting-edge real-time technologies to achieve photoreal results. This unique blend allowed us to have exceptional creative control while leveraging a high throughput feedback cycle.

Leveraging the Power of

EmberGen for Realistic Fire Effects

We harnessed the advanced capabilities of EmberGen, a state-of-the-art tool for real-time simulations. Using this, we were able to generate lifelike fire elements that seamlessly integrated using our compositing techniques. This approach allowed us to produce simulations with a level of precision and realism that would have been far too time consuming using traditional methods alone.

One of the key advantages of our hybrid approach was the significant boost in efficiency and speed. By combining traditional FX simulations with real-time techniques, we were able to streamline the production process, reducing the time required for rendering and revisions. This not only accelerated our workflow but also allowed us to maintain a high standard of quality throughout the project.

EXPANDING HORIZONS

Set Extensions

Digital matte painting and set extensions are at the core of what we do, deeply rooted in our expertise and experience. We have honed our skills to create believable worlds, seamlessly blending digital environments with live-action footage to extend reality beyond the confines of the physical set.

We harnessed Cassiar Technologies’ ‘Studio in the Cloud‘ to effortlessly scale and manage a global team securely. This innovative solution allowed us to expand our reach, ensuring a dynamic workforce while maintaining top-notch security standards.

Shogun

Shogun

TV Series

Release : 2024

Platform : Hulu, Disney+

Starring : Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmos Jarvis

Honored to be a part of this Groundbreaking Award Winning show – Shogun ! Our Art Department was involved in the very early stages of pre production, working alongside the show’s Production leadership team helping establish & visualize the narrative.

Our Contribution

Discussions

We were involved on the project from its very early stage, helping to shape the creative. Collaborating closely with the Production team, our role was to decipher the narrative’s visual language and help in the overall direction of the VFX. We explored the show’s universe, across the key elements to bring the visual to life.

Note : Because of client confidentiality agreements and restrictions, there are limitations on what we can share and discuss.

Osaka City Map

Early developmental concept art exploration for the city of Osaka. This were used for setting the scene in the initial episodes of the show, effectively establishing the context for the actions and sequences unfolding within the narrative.

Check out our Instagram here for a breakdown

Ajiro Coast Map

Designing the world map 🗺️ for a production is crucial because it helps the entire crew — from production to post — understand exactly where each key moment takes place. When these elements aren’t properly laid out, it can lead to significant continuity problems that disrupt the storytelling flow. 🎥

This concept art map served as a vital guide for the production team, aiding in their visual narration and planning throughout the project. It ensured that every location was consistent and aligned with the script, bringing coherence to the narrative and allowing the team to focus on creating memorable scenes. 🎬

World maps play a vital role in any production by providing a visual blueprint that keeps all departments on the same page. They establish a clear framework for storytelling, help maintain continuity, and allow everyone to visualize the environment and dynamics of the story. It’s more than just a map — it’s a tool that transforms words on a page into a vivid, cohesive world.

Edo City

We had the privilege of designing the concept art for Edo City, a significant location in the show. To ensure historical accuracy, we  matched every detail to Edo’s rich cultural heritage.

To bring this to life, we developed a custom city generator using Blender’s geometry nodes, enabling us to create an authentic and vibrant representation of the city in the time period.

Check out our YouTube for a breakdown

Edo Palace

Our team focused on capturing architectural authenticity and historical accuracy, using a custom building generator developed with Blender’s geometry nodes. We  researched every detail, from the construction methods to the materials used, ensuring the design perfectly reflected the period’s accuracy.

This detailed concept art played a crucial role in visual discussions during production and the translation into post-VFX, bringing the beautiful world of Edo to life.

Check out our YouTube for a breakdown

Palace Approach

Designing Toranaga’s approach to the palace was crucial for storytelling, marking a pivotal moment in the narrative. This sequence had to accurately reflect how such events might have unfolded, capturing the gravity of his entrance into the Edo city palace.

We planned every visual element, from the surrounding environment to the mood, to establish the significance of this moment and to ensure it felt both authentic and impactful, setting the stage for the drama.

Encampment

Our encampment design needed to reflect the historical reality of an army in the time period. We carefully structured the layout according to military hierarchy, from Toranaga’s quarters to areas for generals, training, and cooking. The muddy terrain, shaped by the constant movement of thousands of soldiers, and the cleared tree lines added authenticity.

Additionally, the landscape was crafted to align with the planned landslide sequence, ensuring continuity and a compelling visual narrative.

the landslide needed to be immense to convey its dramatic impact. We studied the dynamics of landslides, focusing on terrains most susceptible to such events and the conditions that trigger them. Drawing inspiration from real-life incidents like the Hope Slide in BC, we analyzed its scale and aftermath. We also incorporated footage and elements from these sources, ensuring the scene’s authenticity while capturing the sheer force and chaos of a massive landslide.

Previz - PostViz

we created detailed visualizations in both previz and post-viz, which served as essential guides from pre-production through post-VFX. These visualizations helped align everyone—from the showrunners to the editorial and VFX teams—ensuring that the impact of every effect was accurately executed and consistent throughout the production process.

A huge thank you to the Shogun Production Team for bringing us on board and trusting us to help shape the visual development of this incredible Emmy-winning show. It’s been an honor to contribute to such a remarkable project!

The Morning Show

TV Series

Release : 2023

Platform : Apple TV

Starring : Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Jon Hamm

 Apple TV’s ‘The Morning Show,’ released in 2023, where Render Imagination Inc’s VFX post-production services breathe life into the narrative. Immersing the viewer into the story by executing pixel perfect “invisible” visual effects.

The  Invisible  Art

Compositing
BG Replacements

Visual Effects do not always have to be over the top and elaborate explosions! In many cases they are simply invisible to the viewer, immersing them into the narrative.

This project called for bluescreen replacements to be completely invisible to the viewer. We started the process with roto, camera tracking & plate cleanup  and finished the process with compositing giving us the final pixel perfect result.

The Essentials

Cleanup
Plate Prep

An example of the paint cleanup work we did on the show. The reflection of the lights had to be removed from the glass while preserving the other reflections.

Attention to details is absolutely necessary to get the best key for compositing.

With lots of shots across multiple sequences, the Render Imagination Inc team enjoyed working on the project & we look forward to the next season.
