Slaying it for four seasons

Cinesite has been a pivotal force in bringing the fantastical world of The Witcher to life on screen. Across all seasons of the Netflix series, our studio has delivered breathtaking visual effects that enhance the storytelling and immerse audiences in the show’s rich mythology.

CREATURES

From the monstrous Kikimora in Season 1 to the terrifying Aeschna sea monster in Season 3, Cinesite has designed and animated a variety of creatures that blend realism with fantasy. These creatures often play crucial roles in the narrative, and their believability is essential to the show’s success.

 

ENVIRONMENTS

Cinesite has also created stunning environments, ranging from sprawling forests and bustling cities to otherworldly realms. Our work has involved everything from simulating weather conditions to designing intricate architectural details.

 

FX

We have contributed to a wide range of FX, including magic spells, explosions, and other supernatural phenomena. These effects help to enhance the series’ action-packed sequences and create a sense of wonder.

 

VISUALISATION

Supervisors from Cinesite’s newly launched Visualisation service bring with them an impressive history of their own work on previous seasons. Visualisation and design are vital aspects of every production and our team can explore ideas and concepts at the earliest stages.
