Amazon Prime’s ‘Oasis’ x Union VFX x MadeWithUs
Union VFX were excited to be reunited with Director Kevin Macdonald to help realise his vision for the world of Oasis - a drama pilot based on Michel Faber's cult novel The Book of Strange New Things
Led by VFX Supervisor Simon Hughes, the team completed 173 shots in 6 weeks to transport audiences on a journey from a dystopian London to a new planet that its hoped offers an alternative future.
Along with many VFX shots a multitude of graphene screens on workstations, large monitors and handheld devices needed in screen graphics. MadeWithUs created a 3D world, solar system, buildings and city along with animating all the GUIs and UnionVFX insured they worked in context. The most complex environment created was, unsurprisingly, the surveillance office which is constructed of glass and contains a myriad of monitors which needed to be semi-transparent. VFX Supervisor, Simon Hughes commented: “Building Oasis was a really exciting creative challenge. Kevin had a great vision. It was an ambitious schedule with 173 shots delivered in 6 weeks, but we’re really happy with the end result.”
