Geektown Behind The Scenes Podcast 65: 'Outer Banks' Season 3 VFX Supervisor Art Codron From FuseFX Interview
We are back with new episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. This week I’m chatting with Art Codron, the VFX supervisor for FuseFX on the third season of Netflix’s 'Outer Banks'.Art Codron is a three-time Emmy Award winner, who has worked on shows such as ‘Ozark’, ‘Prison Break’, and ’The Morning Show’, along with his other current show, ‘The Rookie’. Whilst these days he tends to lean more into shows with more “invisible effects”, he began his VFX career working on the ’Star Trek’ franchise, beginning on ‘The Next Generation’ and ‘Deep Space Nine’, then becoming a VFX supervisor on ‘Voyager’ and ‘Enterprise’.‘Outer Banks’ is a wonderfully fun action-adventure series which follows teen John B (Chase Stokes), who enlists his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his father's disappearance. The series also stars Madelyn Cline (Sarah Cameron), Madison Bailey (Kiara), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Rudy Pankow (JJ), Austin North (Topper), Drew Starkey (Rafe), Carlacia Grant (Cleo) and Charles Esten (Ward Cameron) with Cullen Moss (Shoupe), Julia Antonelli (Wheezie Cameron), Caroline Arapoglou (Rose Cameron), E. Roger Mitchell (Heyward), Charles Halford (Big John), Elizabeth Mitchell (Limbrey), and Andy McQueen (Carlos Singh).The most recent third season saw the gang chase the gold to the Caribbean and South American, which created some interesting challenges for the VFX team. These included a plane crash into the ocean and a shot of a whale, which involved complex water simulations and physics. They also had to create the gold-laden caves of El Dorado, enhancing the shots with composition and CG, along with painting out all manner of production equipment.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.
