The Making Of “Boardwalk Empire”
Bodycopy:
An amazing Making Of. Before and after shots from season 1 of HBO's hit series "Boardwalk Empire".
The visual below offers a great behind the scenes look into the process of creating full composite backgrounds as well as facial effects for some of the characters:
Richard Friedlander (president of Brainstorm Digital):
“We knew the series presented a huge challenge. Practically nothing existed of the original architecture that lined the boardwalk nearly one hundred years ago. Without the major use of visual effects, the series might not have been possible"
"One issue was lighting. If we filmed indoors, the consensus was the lighting would never feel real. Real sunlight and weather conditions were important to the visual realism."
