Young Sherlock

Led by VFX Supervisor Tiago Faria, Bluebolt created 327 VFX shots across the eight episode series to seamlessly support the fast-paced, globe-trotting adventures of Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) as he unravels a conspiracy that changes his life forever and sets him on course as a famous sleuth.

BlueBolt tackled multiple 1870s environments, spanning London, Paris and Constantinople as the action unfolds. BlueBolt heavily contributed to the tense Paris gunfight sequences around the barricades in episodes six and seven, incorporating environment destruction, atmos and muzzle flashes. For the dramatic finale episode, BlueBolt created a CG quarry and ravine environment extensions as well as the final gunfight battle and CG double for Silas. They also developed a distinctive zoetrope-inspired visual effect for Sherlock’s flashback sequence in episode seven. Other key sequences included augmenting a major explosion in Oxford in episode one to add to the sense of danger and tension; CG butterflies and spittle addition inside Silas’ killing jar; and period accurate London and Constantinople skylines.
