Our beloFX team was honoured to work with acclaimed showrunner Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) on HBO’s adaptation of Naughty Dog’s videogame, The Last of Us. In a post-apocalyptic world decimated by a fungal outbreak, the series follows hardened survivor Joel as his path becomes intertwined with that of Ellie, a 14 year old girl who just might hold the fate of humanity in her hands.
Led by beloFX VFX Supervisor Oli Atherton, our team crafted 158 shots to help construct the eerie and overgrown environments through which Ellie and Joel journey. From seamless set extensions to intricate compositing and CG touches, our VFX spans five episodes and culminates with Episode 7’s rooftop Boston sequence, for which our beloFX team harnessed the power of Unreal Engine.
