Shogun "Season 1 Trailer"
Case Study

This was a 2 year endeavor with FX Networks, spearheaded by ECD John Leonti and VFX Supervisor/2D Lead Toya Drechsler. The project involved many hands in the LA studio, with Executive Producer, Erin Hicke being the sole team member to see it through from start to finish. Despite facing challenges like a COVID-related actor replacement, the team ensured historical and cultural accuracy was maintained throughout the production process. Notably, every detail underwent rigorous review by FX Networks to uphold these standards. Additionally, full CG sections of forests, the castle, and the battle scene were incorporated after the concept changed from the original shoot, showcasing the team's adaptability and creativity. The stunning film is complemented by Paul Yacono's beautiful grade. Amazing work reflects the team's dedication and set the stage for exciting upcoming projects with FX Networks.
