A Discovery of Witches | Season 2

The second series of Sky TV’s much-loved A Discovery of Witches takes us time-spinning between our contemporary world to period Elizabethan London; blending a mystical narrative between the two. Starring Matthew Goode (Matthew Clairmont) and Teresa Palmer (Diana Bishop), REALTIME provided on-set support, pre-vis and an array of VFX magic to help the show’s creators translate Deborah Harkness’ novel to the small screen.

Why Realtime

VFX Services

REALTIME are experienced in creating a wide variety of Visual Effects, from animation through to CGI asset building to 2D matte paintings and set extensions.

We can help you at any stage of the project but many clients prefer to engage us early in the development process. We can create concept designs for creatures, environments or 3D models and commission storyboards of key set pieces of action. We can also create animatics and previsualisations of 3D sequences.

Once VFX production starts we can provide on-set supervision, photogrammetry and HDRI data capture. Ahead of turnover we are able to provide post visualisation and look development support to help clients visualise key shots and sequences. Once production starts in earnest we are able to cover the full range of VFX, CGI and FX services (FX smoke, water, fire, rain).

We can be engaged from early clean up, prep, tracking and roto work to rig removal, creature animation, crowd replication, 2D compositing, monitor and phone comps, sky replacements, matte paintings and CG snow, fire, water and rain. Get in touch with our REALTIME VFX studio today.
