Flipbook Studio has revealed some of the VFX sorcery it used on CBBC’s latest series of The Worst Witch.
The Manchester company delivered a total of 700 shots for the show, which since its release on Netflix, has become a global hit.
“Securing VFX work at the BBC involved an extensive pitching process that included several key interviews. We figured out some ways to help increase the production value for the flying elements from the last season and presented our ideas for the upcoming scenes,” explained Ben Haworth, Creative Director and Co-Founder.
“There was a remit to build on the success of the VFX from season 3 and with that knowledge under our belt, it helped us plan and develop the effects and magic to achieve even greater heights. We’re really proud to have had the opportunity to work with the BBC once again”.
Flipbook worked alongside an in-house BBC design team as well as the Quicksilver SFX team using practical and digital techniques to correct the scale, realism and impact of the VFX on-screen.
