Stranger Things Season 4 has cemented this show’s status as a pop culture phenomenon and while we wait for the next season, which will be the fifth and last, all we can do is chase down all the details, secrets and curiosities that still exist around the series. latest episodes.
The collider spoke with Julien Hery, supervisor of the visual effects department, who commented on how some of the most ambitious scenes imagined by the Duffer Brothers were made, especially those related to the inverted world and which they were so demanding to create.
As he says, the leap in visual quality in this most recent season required a lot of dedication, from the locations to the characters, without forgetting the adversities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. More production time allowed for more dedication and improved scale for some scenes that rely almost entirely on scary visual effects.
Vecna and her house are key pieces in Stranger Things Season 4 and Hery explains that one of the most demanding scenes took more than 2 years to make.
“Actually, there is a fun curiosity, we started before the pandemic, we started working on it more than 2 years ago. In fact, we started developing some locations, working on assets before the pandemic. When it stopped, we continued working on one or two scenes,” said Hery.
“One of them is a flight over Hawkins, to accompany the bats over Hawkins and then you land at Creel House. This scene took us almost a year and a half or two years to finish, with changes of animation, and we had a lot of time, for it took us a long time to develop that scene. It was really cool.”
Hery is known for leading a team with immense talent and whose work can be appreciated in series such as WandaVision, Game of Thrones, Loki and The Boys, which is a good evidence of the quality and how the production and post-production time allowed to raise so much the scale of visual effects.
