BlueBolt VFX brings the world of 19th-century bare-knuckle boxing to life in A Thousand Blows, delivering 125 shots that immerse viewers in gritty Victorian London. Led by VFX Supervisor Richard Frazer, the studio served as the main visual effects partner for Season 1 of the Disney Original series created by Steven Knight.
From expansive set extensions to full CG environments, BlueBolt transformed Mortlake’s backlot and period warehouse locations into the lively Wapping Docks along the Thames. The studio also crafted a CG aerial view of London and enhanced the brutal boxing scenes with digital finesse.
The result is a richly textured, historically evocative world that seamlessly supports the drama and physical intensity of the story. BlueBolt’s work enhances both scale and authenticity, offering a visually immersive experience that captures the era’s raw energy. Season two is on the way—watch Season 1 now on Disney+ and Hulu.
