The second season of the political thriller The Diplomat on Netflix is a natural follow-up to the explosive finale of season one. Framestore produced all the visual effects for the gripping continuation of Kate Wyler’s story, blending high artistry with the highest stakes of the show.
Led by VFX Supervisor John Kilshaw, On-Set VFX Supervisor Pedro Sabrosa, and Comp Supervisor Illia Afanasiev, the team delivered a great range of effects that remains firmly rooted in reality, from invisible VFX and season changes to crowd duplication, a CG plane, FX fireworks and greenscreen work. This all enhances the story while augmenting the performances of the cast.
This attention to detail would make sure that the visuals would be as faithful as possible to the series’ tone, adding depth and immersion to the world of The Diplomat. Framestore shows that they can bring gorgeous visuals into a story seamlessly while enriching the viewing experience of the audience.
