Title: Iron Island: Technological and Artistic Innovations in 4K.

The VFX project for Ilha de Ferro presented a gigantic challenge from an execution standpoint. Building a hyper-realistic 3D oil platform that meets the dramaturgy of the series was a challenge that took us over a year to accomplish. We developed the entire offshore universe of underwater pipelines, ships, robots, helicopters, and virtual environments with diverse weather conditions. In addition to the 3D project, the Visual Effects supported the construction of a set city built within the Globo Studios. This project was carried out in 4K HDR, bringing pioneering high-resolution production to GloboPlay.
