The fourth season of Slow Horses combines sharp wit with high-stakes espionage when River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) must confront his personal demons in the face of a deadly conspiracy that the London bombing has unleashed. Led by Jackson Lamb, the Slough House team faces new challenges in an exciting narrative full of dark humor and gripping twists.
1920 delivered more than 100 VFX shots that enhanced intense storytelling of the season. For instance, FX rain on iconic wet streets of London, which included compositing DMPs over green-screened footage for realistic environment settings, as well as adding muzzle flashes and impacts for a high-octane shootout.
Key contributors to the show were VFX Supervisor James Etherington-Sparks, VFX Producer Chee Yen Wang, DMP Artist Jordan Haynes, and compositors Chrys Aldred and Robert Lilley. They helped bring a visual authenticity to the show that grounded the espionage drama in a richly atmospheric world.
