Sounds like you're referring to the colour grading of the show which is a process applied after the delivery of VFX shots (we usually get to see how it's developing though).

Interview I recently did with Camille and Cédric from @pierredetear.bsky.social about my experiences working on @thewheeloftime.bsky.social S2 and S3, a career in VFX and how I got started. Available now on YouTube and Spotify

#TheWheelOfTime

Full CG wide establisher shot of Tar Valon under dark clouds with rain pouring and a brighter sky disappearing in the distance. Dragon Mount looms over the city in the background.

A little explanation of the moody Tar Valon opening shot to
@thewheeloftime.bsky.social S3 and some of the choices we made.

I’ve read up to and including TSR. Beyond that it’s research and reference, so I’ve already had lots of spoilers!

Just realised this will be 1am for me in the UK.

He who comes with the Yawn.

Didn’t even require Balefire to bring us back to @thedustywheel.bsky.social

#TheWheelOfTime #WotSkies #VFX

With all episodes now released, no hold barred on the secrets we’ll reveal this time!

#TheWheelOfTime #WoTSkies #VFX

Well maybe I can show something for those too. Behind every good looking effect is a great concept image!

No doubt we’ll cover this subject on @thedustywheel.bsky.social this coming week! Who wants to see the concept illustrations?

YES!!!!

Elayne balefires Jeaine Caide in Episode 8 of Season 3 of The Wheel of Time. This is image is three horizontal panels making one long vertical image. The top image is Elayne pointed the balefire rod at Jeaine and it hitting her and she begins to melt away in a dissipating way, highlighting her spine as her body disappears. The second image is of her body almost feeling dissipated into the air and there are body weave like structures in the air. And the third looks back and Elayne where the weave like structures have recreated Jeaine from a minute before outlining what was her body holding the balefire rod. In the first two images you can see Thom beyond this watching.

Loved the balefire effect, @andyscrase.bsky.social! Can't wait to chat about it next week!

Wide shot as two silhouetted figures run towards camera, away from a third silhouetted individual firing a bright ultra violet bar of light

…not long now until seeing the full effect(s) of S3 Ep8. He Who Comes With The Dawn

Close up shot, Lan catches Moiraine as she releases her One Power connection with the Sakarnen. Moiraine glows from the inside along her arms, a sign on how close she was to 'burning out'

7/ The internal glowing viens were a book description we also conceptualised. @framestore.bsky.social contributed the idea of seeing Moiraine's bones silhouette through her illuminated skin

Close up shot of Moiraine as she runs the Sakarnen along her face as she Channels Earth threads into it. Light from the glowing Sakarnen shines onto her face

6/ A Sakarnen prop was used on set, containing dozens of LED lights and used in CU shots of Moiraine to cast interactive light onto her hands and face. It helped make the glowing Sakarnen feel more 'real'. The Sakarnen prop was replaced with a CG version in post

Close up shot of Moiraine starting to 'burn out' as she struggles to control the power and strength of the Sakarnen. The frame is filled with dozens of bright Earth threads emitting from the Sakarnen. The veins in Moiraine's skin start to glow

5/ Lastly, the Channeling / Sakarnen behaviour was fully realised after discussions I had with Rosamund Pike about her performance / movements, and her thought processes that went into that

Close up shot of Moiraine, expressing awe as she Channels into the Sakarnen and large weaves emit out of it

4/ As this didn’t exist in the books, we had to visualise it all from scratch. Inspiration came from light painting photos, art installations of wind blowing through huge sheets of plastic and the volumetric sculptures of Janet Echelman

Wide drone shot as the camera flies around Moiraine as she Channels into the Sakarnen. Huge Earth weaves emit in all directions from the Sakarnen, some coming close to camera

3/ A lot of these decisions were made during the post process, building on the stunning footage captured along with details in the script

Final shot of Moiraine using the mystical Sakarnen in a wide shot at sun set, whilst standing on a large rocky platform in the middle of the Aiel desert

Final shot of the desert floor around where Moiraine stood. Wide top shot looking down of a massive geometric spiral formed from sand dunes, a result of Moiraine using the Sakarnen. Sand blows off the top ridges of the dunes

2/ The resulting final shots from S3Ep5, some minor adjustments made from the original concepts. Main challenge was figuring out how to work our way up to the fully expanded Sakarnen power shot as Moraine Channels into it

VFX concept image of Moiraine using the mystical Sakarnen in a wide shot at sun set, whilst standing on a large rocky platform in the middle of the Aiel desert. Moiraine, small in shot, Channels into the Sakarnen which results in huge waves of Earth weaves radially flowing out and down onto the desert floor.

VFX concept image of the desert floor around where Moiraine stood. Wide top shot looking down of a massive geometric spiral formed from sand dunes, a result of Moiraine using the Sakarnen.

1/ Moriaine's Sakarnen flex in the Aiel Waste (S3Ep5). How we visualised the whole sequence, beginning with these 2 concept images

Small details are our speciality.

We’re always happy to return if summoned!

UPDATE: It may be a VFX shot, but I'd missed one out. There are actually 9 AIEL hidden in this environment, not 8 as originally stated!!!!!

Aiel are talented, but not that talented

@thedustywheel.bsky.social, one for you. No windows feature in this shot... so you might struggle

Great VFX work of Cold Rocks Hold and Aiel crowd (if you can find them) by #BeloFX.

Wide establisher shot of Cold Rocks Hold, made up of hundreds of stacked large boulders. Our group of heroes walk through the bottom of frame towards Cold Rocks Hold in the distance. Camouflaged Aiel warriors hide amongst the rocks.

The question has been asked. Not counting any from our main group of heroes WALKING through the bottom centre of frame, there are 8 AIEL warriors visible in this shot from S3Ep5 (not all seen in this still frame). Go

Top down drone shot, high above the isolated Two Rivers Waygate on a sunny day. Stone vines grow from the tall stanchions either side of the steps, forming two gates in the middle. The shadow of the Waygates structural design forms on the floor as the Waygates grow, the shape of a large Trefoil leaf is seen within it.

Anyone spot the nice touch added for us by the VFX team
#oneofusvfx for this Waygate shot in S3Ep2? As the gates grow and form, a shadowy outline of an (upside down) Trefoil leaf draws itself on the steps/ground, part of the structural design itself
