Head of 2D at Vine FX, Ezequiel Villanueva supervised the delivery of this project, “It was a 2D heavy show and our initial workload increased by a third as the scope of filming adapted with Covid19. In addition, vehicles with green screen windows were used to authenticate landscapes, signifying the characters journey across borders and the passage of time. Vine FX were tasked to combine elements with on-set locations as a base to create authentic DMP set extensions – transporting the characters straight into the iconic streets of Paris, Kathmandu, Karachi, vast mountainous landscapes and historical temples. Wrest Park Mansion (English Heritage) and Tring were in turn selected, with final days of filming scheduled, the production was back up and running. Alternative UK based locations had to be secured in order to finish the final shots and show VFX Supervisor, Michael Illingworth assisted The Serpent team in recces throughout England to find suitable locations. The pandemic had a direct impact on the international show, with cast and crew retreating from Thailand just eight days before filming was scheduled to end. Filmed in Thailand and the UK, The Serpent takes inspiration from real-life events of infamous French fraudster and serial killer Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim).Īs main vendor, Vine FX was involved in the project, produced by Stephen Smallwood, since early 2019.
