Important Looking Pirates released VFX Breakdown for TV Series Krypton ‘New Superman Prequel Series’. Along with ILP Embassy, Rodeo FX, Double Negative & Ghost VFX worked on Visual Effects for this Series.
Rodeo FX is lead vendor for the show. They created the effects for the pilot, which helped the show get the green light, and were then tagged for the full first season. One of the biggest challenges for Rodeo while working on a cascade of 2-3 weeks between episodes is building CG plans with extremely brief turnaround times.
