Behind the Scenes of Making the Witcher – Season 2 VFX Breakdown

After a successful season two, The Witcher continues to amaze fans. Many a time,
fans forget to appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes to bring to
them the final product they see on the screens. Still Watching Netflix has
released unedited clips of season 2 along with the VFX breakdown:




WHY VFX IS ESSENTIAL TO THE WITCHER

Editing and adding visual effects is something each and every film or series
needs. But, The Witcher [https://www.netflix.com/title/80189685] is more
dependent on this technology than most other films. Much like Game of Thrones in
its later seasons, the series has a high number of mythological creatures. In
fact, most of the plot of The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] relies on magic and mythical
creatures.

The video begins with Nivellen, a boar/human hybrid. A creature like Nivellen
has certainly not been seen on the screens before. Bringing to life his story
with the same level of seriousness and sensibility as the books was difficult,
but the VFX team managed to do this task to perfection.

Apart from recreating the animosity of the striga or the dragon, the VFX team
also had to ensure that the visual effects do not overshadow or subvert the
actors’ performance. The prime example of this would be Kristofer Hivju, popular
for his role in Game of Thrones, as Nivellen. The actor pulled a performance
that competes with the likes of Andy Serkis as Gollum from The Lord of the
Rings.

There also are the fights and combats that make up for the most enthralling
parts of the Netflix Original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/].
The video shows examples of this in the Witchers’ fight with the monster Voleth
Meir brings to life or the Leshy that resides in Eskel’s
body.[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=13646

Fans have particularly praised the CGI of the Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] live-action series in the second
season. Much like any other show, the production gradually got better and
viewers certainly enjoyed it. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the
