The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

Framestore’s NY VFX team, led by VFX Supervisor Thomas Montminy Brodeur, were tapped by AMC VFX Supervisor, Lotta Forssman, and AMC VFX Producer, Jamie Cernich, to help bring to life the latest installment in the apocalyptic The Walking Dead series. Taking place after the conclusion of the original series, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live follows Rick Grimes and Michonne, as their love story is challenged by a new world, kept apart by distance and an unstoppable power.

Michonne looks over a military base

Our team crafted action sequences, CG landscapes and environments and various effects across the 6 episode season, all while ensuring the final product remained realistic. The project touched several departments, from CG to DMP, to FX and composition, which allowed our teams to create a grounded look. 

“The brilliant work from many departments on the project The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live made this challenge a success. There were definitely no dull moments on the show due to the tremendous variety of VFX that we needed to do!”
