FuseFX Applies an Inspired Touch to AMC’s “Preacher”
Visual effects production for the first season of AMC’s drama Preacher is in high gear at FuseFX, Los Angeles, as artists work to enhance the series’ ample servings of supernatural mayhem. The pilot episode alone featured more than 250 VFX shots with a high degree of integration that achieves a seamless marriage between the practical photography and the digital effects.
FuseFX’s Kevin Lingenfelser serves as Production and Facility VFX Supervisor on the series (Paul Linden was Production VFX Supervisor for the pilot), with Casey Conroy as VFX Producer. They lead a compact but focused team of animators, visual effects artists and compositors whose work includes FX simulations, CG animals, blue screen/green screen composites, digital set extensions, fully-realized matte paintings, CG chainsaw blades, muzzle flashes, and elaborate blood and gore, or as Lingenfelser puts it, “everything AND the kitchen sink.”
